These records are

considered raw data. To convert the data into useful information, you need to organize the list and summarize specific details while excluding the irrelevant ones.

Updating A PivotTable

LEVEL 3

CREATING A PIVOTTABLE AND ANALYZING DATA

A PivotTable will not be updated automatically when you edit the source database. You have to manually update the PivotTable. In Office Excel 2007, PivotTables are much easier to use than in earlier versions of Excel. By using the new PivotTable user interface, the information that you want to view about your data is just a few clicks away. You no longer have to drag data to drop zones. Now, you can simply select the fields that you want to see in a new PivotTable field list. And after you create a PivotTable, you can take advantage of many other new or improved features to summarize, analyze, and format your PivotTable data. Using Undo in PivotTables You can now undo most actions that you take to create or

rearrange a PivotTable. Plus and minus drill-down indicators are used to indicate whether you can expand or collapse parts of the PivotTable to see more or less information. Sorting is now a lot simpler than the previous version. You can also filter data by using PivotTable filters, such as Greater than, Equals, or Contains. You can also apply conditional formatting to an Office Excel 2007 Pivot Table. You can quickly apply a predefined or custom style to a PivotTable just like you can for Excel tables and charts.

Goal Seek is a tool for you to find solutions to a problem. It helps you to find the best solution by analyzing single variable. Problem: You need to get a Total Income of $6,000.00. So you should increase the Sales. How much sales do you need to achieve? Solution: To calculate the new sales value, use goal seek to set cell B5 to value 6000 by changing cell B1. You will get the solution that your sales need to be increased to $40,000.00 in order to reach your goal of getting a total income of $6,000.00. Create the following data on a new worksheet.

Solver is a tool for you to find solutions to a problem. It helps you to find the best solution by analyzing multiple variables. Problem: You need to find the maximum net income you can put into your savings for the month. You need to increase the sales and decrease your monthly expenses. However, there are certain limitations and constraints. For example, the constraints here might be 1) There is always a limit or maximum sales you can achieve within the month. 2) There is a minimum monthly expense you must spend within the month. Solution: To calculate the maximum Balance for Saving, use the Solver tool to set cell B7 to maximum. Define the following constraints: 1) Cell B1 (Sales) <= 50,000. 2) Cell B6 (Expenses) >= 3,500 You will get the solution that your maximum Balance for Saving is $3,000. Before you begin, create the following table on a new worksheet.
