Greetings,
In all my years of Excel-dom, I have never used pivot tables, and have
only the rawest understanding of what they are. I got the impression
from skimming the Excel help that they are useful if you have several
batches of data in multiple tables, but they are set up to take up only
the space of one table based on a selection key...or something like
that. (For instance, Excel can contain three M x N sets of data, but
the user must select a key of some kind and then Excel will display the
proper data set, such as M1 x N1, etc.)
At least that is my understanding of it. If anyone could shed some
plain-English light on this, I would appreciate it. I'm sure there's
lot of applications I could use them for but I have never delved that
deeply into the topic. Thanks.
Mike
