Pivot Tables are a great way to manipulate data quickly, with the ability to review data in many various layouts. Creating Pivot Tables can be done quickly, in less than 60 seconds, but there are some important steps to take with your data before you setup your Pivot Table.

Your data should contain no empty columns or rows of data. Individual cells can be missing data, but if an entire column or row are empty, Excel will not recognize all your data during the setup phase.
Your data is formatted correctly. Currency, numbers, dates, etc., should be formatted prior to inserting a Pivot Table, so that Excel can supply the proper functionality for each field.
There are headers for each column of information, and that all columns with headers have information.
Information is two dimensional. In other words, there are no columns with the same headers or information.

Now that your data is setup properly, you can set up a Pivot Table in 60 seconds or less.

Some of the things that make us different:

Our training classes are live and instructor led - Our instructors are in the room with you, leading the class, and are available to answer questions face-to-face. We do not use blended training or mentored learning, in which an instructor video conferences into the room or proctors eLearning.
For computer classes, we provide the computers for you to use during the class. All you need to bring is yourself. We supply the rest!
We provide hard copy training manuals so you can take notes during class, and take them with you for future reference. Many of our classes also come with a Quick Tip sheet, for quick reference of the more commonly used topics from the class.
Free retakes – need a refresher on the topics you learned in class? You can retake your class up to 6 months from your original class date you attended.
Free workshops – many of our computer classes qualify for free workshop time, where you can get instructor assistance with your own projects. Its free consulting to help you apply what you learned to your own work.
Small class sizes – we don’t believe in cramming 100+ people into a hotel conference room. All of our classrooms max out at 12 to 16 students. So you can get more individual attention.
