PivotChart Design

The purpose of creating a PivotTable or PivotChart is to analyze the data visually. Sometimes the data may be easier to understand if the Rows and Columns are switched. By definition, this is how you "pivot" the table.

 

Before You Begin: Select the PivotChart. The PivotChart Tools should be available.

 

3. Try It: Switch Rows and Columns

Go to PivotChart Tools ->Design.

Go to Data->Switch Row/Column.

 

 

What Do You See? The data has been switched: the products are displayed in the Columns and the Categories are shown in the Rows. Keep going...!
