Pivot Table Fears Voting Results
Here are the voting results, from all the valid entries. Of course, I summarized the votes into a pivot table, and you can see the top responses in the pivot chart below.
Surprisingly, the top response was, “Everything scares me!”, with almost twice as many votes as the next response (“How do you insert a Calculated Field?”).
I’ll be covering these topics in upcoming weeks, to help you get over some of those pivot table fears.
Pivot Table Intro
In the meantime, here is John’s video that shows how to insert a pivot table – it’s from one of the first lessons in the Xtreme Pivot Tables course.
And remember, you can get a 25% discount on John’s My Excel Online Training course, if you use the coupon code CONTEXTURES, until Friday, November 21, 2014.
