Pivot Tables are interactive tables in Excel that allow the user to group and summarize large amounts of data in a concise, tabular format for easier reporting and analysis.
One advantage of Pivot Tables is that they allow you to extract significance from a huge data dumps, or to rearrange, hide, or display different category fields within the Pivot Table to provide alternate views of the data.
