7. Pivottable:
A pivot table is a statistics tool that summarizes and reorganizes the selected columns
and rows of data in a spreadsheet or database table to obtain a desired report. The tool
does not actually change the spreadsheet or database itself, it simply turns the data
to view it from different perspectives.
A PivotTable is an interactive way to quickly summarize large amounts of data. You can
use a PivotTable to analyze numerical data in detail and answer unanticipated
questions about your data. A PivotTable is especially designed for Querying large
amounts of data in many user-friendly ways.
The Benefits Of Using Pivot Tables to Manage Your Data:
• Managing your data is easier with user-friendly features.
• Get valuable insights without hassle.
• Analyze data easier with Pivot Tables.
• Summarize data instantly with Pivot Tables.
• Come up with decisions more efficiently with easily accessible insights.

9. There are also PivotCharts, which are a more visual way to summarize and make
sense of the data. We won't be covering these, but for now, just know that they're
possible to do.

10. VLOOKUP: VLOOKUP stands for 'Vertical Lookup’
In its simplest form, the VLOOKUP function says: =VLOOKUP(What you want to look
up, where you want to look for it, the column number in the range containing the
value to return, return an Approximate or Exact match – indicated as 1/TRUE, or
0/FALSE).
Purpose of VLOOKUP:
When you need to find information in a large spreadsheet, or you are always looking for
the same kind of information, use the VLOOKUP function. VLOOKUP works a lot like a
phone book, where you start with the piece of data you know, like someone's name, in
order to find out what you don't know, like their phone number.
VLOOKUP is one of the most widely used functions in Excel. VLOOKUP lets you look up
a value in a column on the left, then returns information in another column to the
right if it finds a match. VLOOKUP says:
11. =VLOOKUP(A1,B:C,2,FALSE)
What do you want to
look for?
If you find it, how many columns to the
right do you want to get a value?
Where do you want to
look for it?
Do you want an exact,
or approximate match?
In cell D22, enter =VLOOKUP(C22,C17:D20,2,FALSE). The correct answer for Apples is
50. VLOOKUP looked for Apples, found it, then went over one column to the right, and
returned the amount.
Now try for yourself in the Meat section, in cell G22. You should end up with
=VLOOKUP(F22,F17:G20,2,FALSE).
