    COURSE TIMING

    The following schedule is an estimate of the course timing based on one classroom day. Your timing might vary.

    Use your judgment to set a reasonable time to move on to the next module.

    This one-day schedule provides students only a limited amount of time to complete exercises in the classroom. To

    cement their skills, they will need to continue their study outside of the classroom environment. You can adapt this

    course to two days of instruction by extending the amount of time available for the exercises and by developing

    supplemental review exercises of your own.

    14

    OBJECTIVE 2.1: ANALYZING DATA DYNAMICALLY BY USING PIVOTTABLES

    EXERCISE: CREATE, EDIT, AND PIVOT A PIVOTTABLE

    In this exercise, youll create a PivotTable by using data from a table, add fields to the PivotTable, and then pivot

    the PivotTable.

    For this exercise, you need the Creating_start workbook in the Chapter09 practice file folder.

    OBJECTIVE 2.2: FILTERING, SHOWING, AND HIDING PIVOTTABLE DATA

    EXERCISE: FILTER A PIVOTTABLE BY USING MULTIPLE METHODS; SHOW AND HIDE DETAILS IN A

    PIVOTTABLE

    In this exercise, youll focus the data displayed in a PivotTable by creating a filter, by filtering a PivotTable based on

    the contents of a field in the Report Filters area, by showing and hiding levels of detail within the body of the

    PivotTable, by using the Search box, and by using Slicers.

    For this exercise, you need the Focusing_start workbook in the Chapter09 practice file folder.

    OBJECTIVE 2.3: EDITING PIVOTTABLES

    EXERCISE: RENAME AND RECONFIGURE A PIVOTTABLE; CREATE A FORMULA THAT REFERENCES

    PIVOTTABLE DATA

  • Learn Microsoft Excel 2010 Step by Step, Level 3

    15

    OBJECTIVE 2.5: CREATING PIVOTTABLES FROM EXTERNAL DATA

    In this exercise, youll import data into Excel from a text file and then create a PivotTable based on that data.

    For this exercise, you need the Creating_start text file in the Chapter09 practice file folder.

    KEY POINTS

    You can use PivotTables to dynamically rearrange data and emphasize different aspects of data without creating new worksheets.

    PivotTable data must be formatted as a list. When using an Excel table as the data source, you can streamline the creation process by referencing the table name.

    Excel comes with many attractive visual styles for PivotTables.

    With the PivotTable Field List task pane, you can create a PivotTable by using a straightforward, compact tool.

    Just as you can limit the data shown in a static worksheet, you can use filters to limit the data shown in a PivotTable.

    Excel 2010 includes two new types of filters, search filters and Slicers, that you can use to limit the data in your PivotTables.

    If you have data in a compatible format, such as a text file, you can import that data into Excel and create a PivotTable from it.
