    Amazing! This is like Power Bi reports on budget! I know its an exaggeration but most needs are fulfilled by pivots. Thanks Kevin. I have learnt a lot about Microsoft products from you than anyone else. That too in short time.

    Thank you for this! I often forget how to build a pivot table and now I can save this video for next time.
  • Kevin, your videos are the best out there! Thank you so much for your insights and expertise! One request is using pivot tables to analyze survey data. I know the general principles are the same, but I'd be interested in seeing how you organize and group survey data to get the most intuitive reports and visualizations. Again, thank you!

  • @ZoarkadoZenos
    I didn't know the existence of slicer till now. OMG, you are a lifesaver and a timesaver!
  • This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thanks great instructional video 👍

    Thanks Kevin. Another superbly informative video. I’ve always loved playing with pivot tables to analyse data but I didn’t know you could do half of this. Just sent the video to my work email to watch again tomorrow when I am at work. Have found loads of your videos useful over lockdown and this is another one I will add to my favourites.
  • @cycleSCUBA
    Wasn't aware of the Analyse Data option first, and the dufferent data views it gives in addition to PT's. Thanks so much for this 👍
