This work stems from the need to develop some Excel sheets to reach the required results.
For example, in the workplace it often happens to have data that without a precise sorting or a filter or processing based on a certain field may seem unusable.
Here are some features of the programs that process spreadsheets such as Excel from Office or Calc from OpenOffice or Calc from LibreOffice, as well as others, can be useful for achieving the result we want to obtain.
In this volume we will explain in a simple and effective way the usefulness of some important functions of the processing of spreadsheets and pivot tables that are essential for any work that focuses on data analysis.
Today it is no longer possible to ignore the use of Excel or other software for processing spreadsheets for both business and leisure purposes. In this work we will dedicate ourselves to the processing of quantitative data for work purposes, taking into consideration various examples that will explain how to solve the problems proposed through subsequent steps that will lead to the solution of the same.

This work stems from the need to develop some Excel sheets to reach the required results.

In this volume we will explain in a simple and effective way the usefulness of some important functions of the processing of spreadsheets and pivot tables that are essential for any work that focuses on data analysis.

Pivot tables are tables organized according to the choices of the operator. This type of tables processes one or more source tables that can be contained in an Excel sheet. The source table must contain the header of each column to allow the creation of a Pivot Table. To insert a Pivot Table go to Insert and click on Pivot Table as in the following figure:
In this source table we have entered for each day of the year the sales made in a company with the details of the agent and the point of sale.
In this example that we will analyze in the next chapters we have created a Pivot table that sums the commissions due to each single agent only for valid contracts. Remember to change the row label when you want to print a report with the obtained pivot tables.
As you can see from the example, you can apply filters to filter the information based on a certain variable, I can also organize the data based on the fields that are selected at the top of the list. The field is inserted in the row label, the data will be grouped in the rows otherwise if I insert the field in the column label they will be grouped in columns. In the space at the bottom left there are the values that can be modified such as sum, count, average and other types of summaries.
With the excel 2016 new features come in such as Power pivot that we will see later.
As we have seen, pivot tables are useful in grouping and filtering large amounts of raw collected data. This type of tables are used to make sense of the data itself. Thanks to these tables we can create reports and relationships with a complex meaning useful for business purposes.
We will see in the following paragraphs some concrete examples of problems solved with pivot tables. Obviously these tables can group and filter data, but they cannot carry out any elaborations, for this type of result a programming language is required which for Excel could be VBA. The author of this book has written another book on VBA to make the knowledge of Excel simple and complete.
Before inserting a pivot table it is necessary to set the data well using for example Excel functions or doing simple multiplications to have a basis for effective grouping.
