How to make pivot table
January 29, 2025
Creating a pivot table is a great way to analyze and summarize data in Excel or Google Sheets. Here’s a step-by-step guide for both:
In Excel:
Select Your Data: Highlight the range of data you want to analyze (including headers).
Insert Pivot Table:
Go to the Insert tab.
Click on PivotTable.
In the dialog box, ensure your data range is correct. You can choose to place the pivot table in a new worksheet or the existing worksheet.
Building Your Pivot Table:
Once the pivot table is created, a new field list will appear on the right side of the screen.
Drag fields into the following areas:
Rows: To group data (e.g., categories like product name, regions, etc.)
Columns: To organize data across columns (e.g., months, years)
Values: To perform calculations like sum, average, count, etc. (e.g., sales figures)
Filters: To filter the data by specific criteria (e.g., only show data for a specific region)
Adjust & Format: You can adjust the layout, format, and design using options in the PivotTable Tools ribbon.
In Google Sheets:
Select Your Data: Highlight the range you want to analyze.
Insert Pivot Table:
Click on Data in the menu.
Select Pivot table from the dropdown.
Choose whether you want the pivot table in a new sheet or existing sheet.
Building Your Pivot Table:
In the pivot table editor that appears on the right side:
Rows: Add the fields you want to group by.
Columns: Add the fields to break data into columns.
Values: Add fields to summarize (e.g., sum, average).
Filters: Apply filters if needed.
Adjust & Format: You can further tweak your pivot table by modifying the fields and calculation methods (e.g., sum, count, average).
Tips:
You can drag and drop fields around in both Excel and Google Sheets to change the layout quickly.
If the data changes, you can refresh the pivot table to update it.
