Excel Pivot Tables and Charts

In an effort to explore and better understand different sets of data from several evaluation projects, I finally was moved to learn about the functionality of PivotTables and PivotCharts inside of Microsoft Excel.

Having reviewed many comments for a number of YouTube videos, I selected and watched the following four. Their combined 60 minutes provided a great overview, basic understanding of structuring and using pivot tables, creating pivot charts, and assembling various pivot charts to create a dynamic dashboard able to provide insightful observations of your Excel data. I hope you find them useful and look forward to your feedback.
