ST Poll: Do you know how to do Pivot Tables in Excel?

Posted by Mel Profit - Votetastic! (aka Mel Profit) Nov 4 '08, 08:35

I sort of amazed how many people don't know how to do this. I'm not at the Kilbo end of geekdom either...I don't think.

God yes. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 08:43
Yes, and non-techies always think that it must be so hard to do them. -- nm - ceregon Nov 4, 08:41
yes, use them constantly -- nm - decline Nov 4, 08:41
pivot ... pivot ... Pivot ... PIVOT -- nm - Ross Nov 4, 08:40 4

    - It's about the only favorite Ross moment I have. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 08:45 1
      - I'm much more of a Joey and Chandler fan than a Ross fan, that's for sure. - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 08:48
Yes -- nm - con_carne Nov 4, 08:39
I hate excel. I did learn how to do them once, but I couldn't be bothered to remember. -- nm - Callisto voted (early) Nov 4, 08:38
yes, very useful -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 08:38

- But don't you want to know how many F's you're about to give out so you know who to proposition for "extra credit"? - Mel Profit - Votetastic! Nov 4, 08:39 1
  - Why ruin the fun? -- nm - nubby - I voted! Nov 4, 08:40
I've used them, but don't understand or like them. -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 08:37
Nope - tried to figure it out a couple times, ended up being easier/quicker to do it the "hard way" for what I was attempting to do. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 4, 08:36
ummmmm.......I saw one once. - ty97 - I v0ted! Nov 4, 08:36
Yes. But a lot of times they don't want to do what I want them to do. - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 08:36 2
- I just sort of started experimenting with them... - Mel Profit - Votetastic! Nov 4, 08:38 1
  - They're very powerful for getting totals/counts. Other than that, they're meh (for me). -- nm - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 08:41
I'm not 100% sure what it is, frankly. But it sounds useful. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:36 2
- Me neither. For an IT guy, I'm terrible at excel. - Subversive Nov 4, 08:38 1
  - pivot tables are like a super-duper advanced version of "sum", from reading the wikipedia article -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:39
I don't understand the point of them. - Reagen Nov 4, 08:36 2
- they're useful for making sens of a whole bunch of data. - znufrii Nov 4, 08:38
- I think it might be useful for graphing, if it means what I think it means -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:37
yes. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 08:35
