I cried a little, thank you for helping me to understand it's not magic. People are often impatient during work. They show once, and quickly, and expect us to get it. You are a gift to many.
Yesss! I was getting ready for a full night of work trying to prepare a few monthly reports for an upcoming meeting and then I saw this Video, now I will be able to make those in less than an 30 mins.... so yeah, I was jumping all over the place from happyness :D
You are a born video instructor. Your voice is engaging, your speed with the mouse is not too fast and not too slow, and your progression made sure I did not get lost. I am absolutely coming back to watch this again when I need another refresher. Subscribed!
when you tell the job that you know how to do pivot tables and actually make it to the third round of interviews and there is an excel assessment and you dont know jack sh*t about pivot tables so you run over to youtube. thanks kevin, you helped a lot! lol
I'm in the same boat, hence the reason why I am up at 3:38am trying to learn about this before my 9am interview! Lol. Come to find out, I was creating my own pivot tables as a Data Subject Matter Expert for AT&T in order to track and forecast Data sales by each dept, but I had no idea that was the name of my graphs...and certainly not to the extent of the video. Thank you. Each one teach one.
For years i have thought pivot tables are a complex functionality. My perception has been quickly turned around with this video. That was a nice ice breaking session for me!
I created a fake data set after watching this video and then rewatched and did everything like you did. This was incredibly helpful. Definitely going to help me in the job I just landed!
Extremely helpful. I've watched so many Excel videos and what they almost always lack is a cogent, real-world framework for why you would want to do this. Your context-driven approach adds a great deal of value. Many thanks and subbed.
I should have just come straight to your channel first.You literally made pivot table FINALLY make sense. This is after spending hours scouring through videos to understand why what goes where in those 4 boxes, you're the first to actually explain in beginner talk! Thank you Kevin.
Well done, Kevin! You covered a lot in 13 minutes. Quick, concise, and eye-opening for countless uses and options for analyzing data. Yes, you moved fast, but that easily should be the preference for all of us since we can pause, replay, and replay again to gradually gain understanding on a topic we didn’t quite grasp the first time - or not repeat something at all if we were already comfortable with our understanding, It’s the power of a video. Again, well done, Kevin!
Thanks Kevin. You’re the best. I’ve been using excel for decades but I find you get stuck in your own way of doing things that you’ve taught yourself. I’m here to find out all the functionalities I’ve overlooked and learn how to do things better. So many hints and tips. You’re a great teacher so much clarity. I’m going through all your videos. Thank you very much 😊
I'm reviewing Pivot Tables which I used a year ago. This is in preparation for job interview. Your videos are very helpful, concise, and easy to understand. Thank you so much. Watching from Manila, Philippine
I'm a beginner in the use of Pivot table but you tutorial really made me more interested to learn..its hard to understand first thing but gradually following steps by steps and writing notes , I think, I learned so much and my worries of every time I be asked during work interview if I know Pivot Table I honestly said no...but with your tutorial I know I'm ready to say yes, I know Pivot Table. Thank you so much, you are a great teacher to novice like me.
Sobbing over PivotTable chapter in the MOS Study Guide for the Excel Expert exam and decided I despised PivotTables. 15 minutes of your video and they made perfect sense.
Thank you Kevin!! I am starting a new job and have never used pivot, macros, vlookup etc.. Having watched your video's over the past few days I feel so much more confident. You explain it simply and easily. THANK YOU x
Live saving video 😃 I watched this video 2 hours before my interview. Surprisingly at the interview, I was given a large data to work with which required using a pivot table, I just smiled and answered all questions on point and in time. Thank you 👍
Thx. I have been intimidated by pivot tables for a few years now. But recently I jumped in and just started dragging titles into a different market and was able to see how the pivot table works to summarize large amounts of data for different kind of analytical purposes. Your video helps reassure me that I’m moving in the right direction thank you again
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! For YEARS, I had gone out of my way to avoid using pivot tables - Until Today! Thank you so so much for this extremely simple way of using this magnificent tool. Keep up the great work and God bless you!
By far the simplest and easiest to follow of all Excel tutorials I have looked at (and there have been a LOT!). Thanks so much! I have now subscribed, and you're now my first go-to when I need a refresher, or a crash course on Excel!
Thank you so much. Before you I spent one hour of Simon Saiz explanation of Pivot Tables. While I feel that she did give lots of info, the whole idea was not explained well. So glad I saw your video, as you explained everything in a fraction of time.
I had a phone interview and they asked me about pivot tables. I simply said that I didn't not use them on a daily basis for my job. I am not familiar at all. I am looking through your videos to refresh some knowledge before my interview. I have watched other videos and yours I like the best. Some of the other videos I literally was falling asleep watching.
So concise and easy to follow. I didn’t even know what these were until an hour ago when my engineering lead asked me to organize my data into a pivot table. Thanks!
Kevin this is a lifesaver! I had an interview recently in which they asked me about pivot tables, and I’ve always been so intimidated that I never even looked into it. This video was so simple and helpful, and I will continue to mess around with data until i am confident in using these tables, thanks so much!
All your EXCEL teaching videos have helped me in my online college course. If it weren't part of the course material that I need to graduate, I would buy your tutorial. If there were a way for you to sell your videos or learning program to online college campuses, that would be awesome! Thank you for doing this! You have obviously helped thousands of people with these videos!
What an amazing tutorial!! I just applied to a job that requires you to be comfortable with pivot table (WHICH I AM NOTTTTT )- I will be practicing everything you mentioned here - THANK YOU :)
Thank you!! I was feeling a little overwhelmed at my new data analyst job, but this video really helped me reset my focus and clean up a lot of my work!
Thank you. Excellent tutorial to remind me how this is done, It's been about 5 years since I did this professionally on a routine basis. Now that I'm retired, I want to use it to analyze our church financials.
Wow! Kevin ... that was a great tutorial. I have never used a pivot table, nor have I even thought about one before beginning my research on how to create my own CRM tool in Excel. Thank you for the lesson - but mostly, thank you for talking in regular terms because that made the information easier to follow and easier to digest.
Thank you so much Kevin! You have made this old head wanting to learn more again, your voice, your speed, the way you walk us thru are all very easy to follow, good on you!
Thank you Kevin! I started a new position where they use Excel much more. Which was my weakness. I appreciate your calm tone and easy approach. I can now feel more confident using Excel for my tasks.
Thank you Kevin! I have an important job assessment test coming up and I needed to understand this functionality that has given me many days of headaches! It was easy to follow (thanks for the data provided as well). New sub here. Continue with your content and a Happy New Year to you and yours!!!
Good job showing the basics. I wish I had found this years ago as it would have been very helpful to get started! I avoided Pivot Tables like the plague and did my slicing and dicing manually and with filters.
Very well taught! Appreciate your very understandable explanations on the how's this is useable and why's it is practical in the real world. Terrific!!
Great Introductory Tutorial! The most valuable feature for me was that it not only explained _how_ to create pivot tables and pivot charts, but _why_ .
At my work, I have done a lot of data collection and analysis using Python scripts and industry tool call Spotfire. This week I had an initial interview and this guy said they use Excel (Pivot Table). Thank you for this video as I have never even heard of Pivot Table after using Excel for thirty years.
This is such a great introduction to Pivot Tables in Excel. As a novice to Excel and Pivot Tables, I appreciate this clean, simple tutorial very much. Thank you!
The Video is very detailed in explaining what a Pivot table does and how to do a pivot table on your own. Really do appreciate this video Kevin, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much kevin

I literally just got a job this week because of this video. Keep saving lives Kevin.
Best pivot table intro I've seen. Covers more in 10 minutes, more clearly, than some courses do in 4 hours.
