POWER USER PRO TIP

Outline & Tabular Pivot Layouts

There are a few things in this world that will forever be shrouded in mystery: Stonehenge, the Egyptian pyramids, and the fact that Excel PivotTables default to “Compact Form“. For those of you who haven’t ventured beyond the default PivotTable layouts, prepare to be ROCKED.

In this tip, I’ll discuss why I absolutely despise Compact Form, and share some great use cases for working with Outline or Tabular layouts instead.

COMMON USE CASES:

  • Using Outline Form to sort and filter multiple fields individually
  • Using Tabular Form with repeating item labels to create new source data tables
