Very helpful and explanatory session exploring multiple facets of pivot tables and escalating the complexity as the session went on. It was helpful to see all the different versions of manipulating the same data and how different pivot table options resulted in those versions. I was able to find a data source I look at monthly with some very crunched formulas in it and with some small tweaks now can use a pivot table to summarize this data and present to management in a better format and more reliably. Thanks for a great seminar!

Really good presentation on a complicated topic. The instructor was excellent with his knowledge and the way he presented, including the pace of the webinar and the many examples he gave on PIVOT tables. He should be teaching a lot of EXCEL webinars with his knowledge.
