Pivot tables are a powerful tool to analyze complex data on an Excel sheet. Let’s see how we can use chat GPD to learn to create a professional-looking pivot table with all the bells and whistles, pivot charts, and other advanced features to analyze the data.
The first and foremost requirement to create a pivot table is data. Let’s create data using chat GPD. Give a prompt to chat GPD to create a data table so that I can create a pivot table. The data table should contain 10 different random salesman names, four regions, different computer products, and sales numbers ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 depending upon the price of the products sold. Now we have a data table ready for use.
To create a pivot table, I copy-paste this data into Excel and ask chat GPD to explain step by step how to create a pivot table based on the data. I want it to look professional and include all the advanced features of a pivot table.
First of all, let me insert a pivot table. I select the entire data, go to Insert, and choose Pivot Table. Now I drag the salesman in the rows, region also in the rows, keep the products in the filter, and months in the column. I can drag and drop them in different ways to change the table format.
To make it easy for us to read and analyze the table, I want to add slicers. I go to each field, right-click, and add that field as a slicer. With slicers, I can easily filter out what I don’t want to see. I can also add conditional formatting to see the data on the chart.
I can also add a pivot chart to visualize the data. I go to Pivot Table Analyze and add a pivot chart. Now when I filter the table, the chart automatically changes.
If you have any specific questions about pivot tables, ask chat GPD and get the answers.
That’s data analysis using pivot tables with chat GPD’s help.
