Suppose you have the number of devices sold by quarter for three different vendors.If you pivot your data, you can show the vendor in one field and the number of devices sold in another.
Pick two or more columns after you have set up the data source.Next to the column name, click the drop-down arrow.New columns are created and added to the data source.The original columns were used to create the pivot.To add more data to the pivot, select another column, click the drop-down arrow, and then select Add Data toPivot.Before you begin your analysis, make sure the pivot columns and values look the same.Click the drop-down arrow next to the name of the pivot column to remove it.
