Years ago, a friend introduced me to Microsoft Excel pivot tables. This is one of the most powerful and easy-to-use features of Excel, yet the vast majority of employees that work with spreadsheets know nothing about it. I am convinced that training employees to make use of this one feature could revolutionize the way that an organization looks at data.
Some of the immediate benefits include:
- Quickly analyze spreadsheets and provide summarized, meaningful reports and graphs
- Quickly identify data trends
- Quickly identify data issues
Microsoft has a no cost, online course from which anyone can benefit:
