Microsoft Excel can be used to carry out a number of functions such as sorting, filtering, and subtotal to manage large lists of data. Yet, its MS Excel PivotTable is a very useful feature when it comes to analyzing all that data and doing it quickly. Its use is all the more pronounced when the user is required to quickly create a compact summary report (based on lots of data) without having to write complex formulas or rely on lengthy techniques.

Being very versatile, MS Excel PivotTable is often considered Excel’s best analytical tool because it complements speed with amazing flexibility and dynamism, by which the data interrelationships that are being viewed can be changed. It is so practical that its features can be put to practical use by actually getting down to work on it, even if a user doesn’t go through the instructions on the printed page, which is a visually-oriented feature based on displaying fields in different locations. With MS Excel PivotTable, it is possible to create a complete summary report with heaps of data in very little time without having to write complex formulas and rely on obscure techniques.
