Course Description
 
Pivot Table Proficiency: Part 1
February 19th, 2019, 1 PM to 2:40 PM ET


In Part 1 of this comprehensive 2-part webinar, Excel expert, David H. Ringstrom, CPA, introduces you to pivot tables. Excel pivot tables empower you to easily create reports from complex data simply by using your mouse. You will learn a variety of techniques, including how to filter, format, and sort data, and more. Like many Excel features, pivot tables have nuances that can be frustrating, so David points out traps and shares tricks to help ensure your reports are always accurate.

You will see each technique demonstrated at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Office 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation, as well as in his detailed handouts. You will also receive an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples used during the webcast.

Office 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don't change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.

You will learn how to:
  • Contrast sorting data within worksheets to the nuances of sorting data within pivot tables
  • Determine which refresh commands in Excel update a single pivot table versus all pivot tables in a workbook
  • Filter pivot tables to show fewer columns and/or rows of data
  • Explore the nuances of formatting numbers within pivot tables
  • Utilize the Tabular Format command to display pivot table data in two or more columns instead of a single column in Compact Form
  • Add fields to a blank pivot table to create instant reports
  • Jump-start pivot tables by way of the Recommended PivotTables feature in Excel 2013 and later
  • Add fields to a blank pivot table to create instant reports
  • Filter pivot table data based on a new dimension by using the Report Filter command
  • Present the largest or smallest values in chart form by way of a Top 10 pivot chart
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
  • Identify how to expand and collapse groups of data within a pivot table
  • Apply the best approach for formatting numbers within a pivot table
  • Describe how to transform filtering tasks with the Table feature

Pivot Table Proficiency: Part 2
February 20th, 2019, 1 PM to 2:40 PM ET


In part 2 of Pivot Table Proficiency, Excel expert, David Ringstrom, CPA, presents ways to add even more interactivity to pivot tables by grouping and filtering your data more efficiently. You will learn how to: minimize repetitive steps with keyboard shortcuts, improve the integrity of pivot tables, incorporate calculations within or alongside pivot tables, and much more. In addition, you will also learn a variety of helpful features, including: the Table feature, the Recommended PivotTables feature, the Slicer feature, the PowerPivot feature, and others.

You will see each technique demonstrated at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Office 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation, as well as in his detailed handouts.
