Pivot Table Bootcamp

The Only Pivot Table Course You'll Ever Need

This is your crash course in pivot tables—perfect for professionals who want results, not just theory.

In just one hour, you'll work with multiple datasets, build dynamic tables, and unlock the storytelling potential of your spreadsheets.

Whether you're organizing survey results, tracking project metrics, or just trying to impress your boss, you'll walk away confident and ready to pivot like a pro.


 

What You'll Learn

You'll start with the beginner skills like understanding Excel's jargon, adding a brand new pivot table, dragging and dropping variables into the four-box structure, and making sure all the prerequisites are met.


Next, you'll practice intermediate skills like making sure your pivot tables update when you add more rows/columns to your dataset; adjusting the Options; and applying custom sorting and layouts.

I know you'll love the advanced skills, like showing counts, sums, averages, and/or percentages; using formulas alongside your pivot tables; finding patterns with conditional formatting; and linking pivot charts, timelines, and slicers to create dynamic dashboards.

You'll practice with two additional case studies, too. The first case study is about closed-ended and open-ended survey responses.

The second case study is about project tracking (so that you can practice using Excel Tables, pivot tables, pivot charts, slicers, and timelines for datasets with one row per project / grantee / grant).
