In a rare moment I am going to not only admit that I work, but also admit that I care

Today, I learned about pivot tables in Excel. I was aware of the pivot table's existence, having seen a few in the wild, but it had never ocurred to me that I could create one. I didn't think that kind of power was granted to just anyone.

This may open up a whole other dimension to my spreadsheet experience. This must be how movie-goers felt when Smell-o-vision was introduced. This is like a whole new flavor of Excel. Although, I still have to figure out how to really use it. So right now it's still pretty much vanilla Excel with chocolate chip potential.

I don't know how to use pivot tables, but I've always wanted to learn. I've done one before, but it wasn't "successful." You'll have to teach me one of these days.

I don't know how yet either, but I'll work on it.

I LOVE pivot tables. In fact, I wrote a tutorial on them. Would you like it?

David said...

Yes, please!

Please send that tutorial to me too, Dave! (If that's okay with Kristin?)
