Excel: Getting started with PivotTables

Before creating a PivotTable, there are three rules you should follow. Two are a must. Rule #1: no blank rows or columns in your data. Rule #2: make sure your data is tabular. Rule # 3: make your data range a Table. I have a free course on Excel Tables located here that I created for the Georgia Society of CPAs (GSCPA). chrismenardtraining.teachable...
In this video, we discuss the three rules and then make a PivotTable. We then show totals for months and car brands in the PivotTable and finally, we find a running total and then the difference.

Chris - love you videos and pace. appreciate it, was wondering if you are able to help with PIVOT and ability to cleanly show data as annual gain, and XIRR function and total gain for each equity buy and sell source data. I am desperately seeking help to tell you truth. I hope you can provide help even for fees.
