Pivot tables

1. Pivot tables

Pivot Tables are another way to quickly summarize a large dataset in Google Sheets. They can be used to answer frequent or important questions like, did we achieve our third quarter sales goals? Or, how many chocolate croissants have we sold in South America over the last six months? These questions can often be answered by creating sometimes complex formulas in the sheet. However, a pivot table aggregates data in rows and columns into a summary table much more quickly than writing a custom formula. Using a pivot table, data can be reevaluated without modifying any formulas or having to recalculate a large dataset. It can quickly aggregate data to make thousands of cells of data simple to review and present. Let's take a look at pivot tables now.
