Description

Overview

Power Pivot removes many of the limitations and frustrations that users find with creating Pivot Tables in Excel. For example, using Power Pivot you can…

  • Create Pivot Tables from multiple lists/tables without the need to combine them into a single list first (goodbye LOOKUP and all the issues that it brings)
  • Create Pivot Tables from large datasets without worrying about file size, performance or needing more rows than an Excel worksheet contains
  • Create Pivot Tables from multiple data sources (Excel, database, text file etc)
  • Create powerful calculations on the data in your Pivot Tables
  • And more
