Who is this book for?

This book is for Excel users who want to learn about Pivot Tables. If you work with financial data, logistics records, sales orders, customer service reports, web site statistics, resource tracking, event planning, or any other set of records, a Pivot Table can help you review, analyze, monitor, and report on the data. When your reporting requirements change, you can make minor adjustments to the Pivot Table, instead of starting a worksheet summary from scratch.
