POWER USER PRO TIP
Using pivots without value calculations is like driving a Ferrari but never taking it out of second gear. Sure, you can do quite a bit by simply aggregating and summarizing your values, but calculations like Difference From, % of Parent, Running Total, and Rank allow you to explore your data from entirely different perspectives.
In this tip, we’ll practice working with several of the most common PivotTable value calculations.
COMMON USE CASES:
- Analyzing time-series data as a running total by day, month or year
- Exploring the composition of values in terms of percent share by category
