Overview of Excel Lists An Excel list (also known as a database or flat-file) is organized into columns and rows just like a spreadsheet. A Spreadsheet consists of labels on the top row(s) and labels in the first column with numerical values in the intersection of each label. A list in Excel consists of a contiguous range of cells (no blank rows or columns) in which only the top row of the data contain the labels describing the information in the column below (fields). Every other row is considered a record of information describing that item. In Excel (and similar spreadsheet programs), they are called flatfiles. Relational databases (i.e. Microsoft Access) allow the data to be organized into separate smaller lists (tables) and then, when required, allow the user to combine that data into one report. Flatfile programs require all the data to be in one contiguous range of cells on the same worksheet for the user to be able to work with that data together. Example of a Spreadsheet

It is very important that when adding new records that they be added in the next available row (i.e., A23) or in an inserted row somewhere between the first and last record. Otherwise, new data will not be considered part of the list.

Reference Workbook: Data Analysis.xls Sorting_Filtering Worksheet

Sorting Data Sorting data is the process of rearranging data in a list or spreadsheet in particular order. A list is considered a contiguous range of cells in which the top row are the column headings (field names) and every other row in the range is considered a record. The list is separated from other data in the worksheet by at least one blank row or column. Data can be sorted one column at a time or up to three columns within one sort. Data in a list can be sorted in ascending or descending order. In an ascending sort, Excel uses the following order. (In a descending sort, this sort order is reversed except for blank cells, which are always placed last.) Numbers

Numbers are sorted from the smallest negative number to the largest positive number.

Dates

Dates are sorted from the earliest date to the latest date.

Alphanumeric When you sort alphanumeric text, Excel sorts left to right, character by character. For example, if a cell contains the text "A100," Excel places the cell after a cell that contains the entry "A1" and before a cell that contains the entry "A11." Text and text with numbers are sorted in the following order: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (space) ! " # $ % & ( ) * , . / : ; ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~+ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Apostrophes (') and hyphens (-) are ignored, with one exception: If two text strings are the same except for a hyphen, the text with the hyphen is sorted last. Logical values

In logical values, FALSE is placed before TRUE.

Error values

All error values are equal.

Blanks

Blanks are always placed last.

Sorting Data on Multiple Columns Excel allows any one sort to include up to 3 fields at a time. The sorting toolbar buttons cannot sort on more than 1 field at a time. However, the Data menu: Sort command can sort data up to 3 fields. If more than 3 fields are necessary to sort, Sort the fields in groups of 3, using the least important fields first. Then sort the most important field last. For example, suppose a list containing First Name, Last Name, Department, and Region information needed to be sorted so that all the departments were organized by name and then region. The user would sort by Last Name, First Name, and then Region using the Data menu: Sort command. Lastly the user would sort by Department using the Sort Ascending or Sort Descending toolbar button.

Steps: ⇒ Click anywhere in the contiguous cell range of the list ⇒ Click Data menu: Sort command ⇒ In the Sort By box, select the primary field to sort and whether ascending or descending ⇒ In the Then By box, select the second field to sort and whether ascending or descending ⇒ In the next Then By box, select the third field to sort and whether ascending or descending ⇒ Click OK

Reference Workbook: Data Analysis.xls Sorting_Filtering Worksheet

Filtering Data Filtering data provides a way to display only the preferred data while hiding the remainder of that data list. For example, in a list of hundreds of product sales containing product names, regional locations, dates, dollar amounts, etc., a user can just display only the records for a particular product or region. Autofilter is a process that allows the user to choose from a list of items in that column and hide all data except the chosen option. When activated, AutoFilter places drop-down lists at the head of each column. The user simply opens the list of the preferred data column and selects the item. In addition, a user can specify a range of values such as the Top 10 or Bottom 5% of records using the (Top 10…) option in AutoFilter. There is also a (Custom…) option in which a user can set a range of values (i.e. a field containing values from 0 to 100,000) between 5,000 and 10,000. Steps: TO

ACTIVATE

Reference Workbook: Data Analysis.xls Auto Outline Worksheet

Grouping Data Grouping data in a worksheet allows you to hide or display the detail but leave the calculated areas of your worksheet visible. This is particularly useful in a large itemized worksheet. For example, in a worksheet displaying monthly sales figures with quarterly subtotals, a user can hide the monthly detail and just display the quarterly subtotals along with the grand total. Data can be grouped automatically or manually. Grouping Data Automatically Steps: ⇒ Click anywhere in the worksheet ⇒ Click Data menu: Group and Outline: Auto Outline

Un-Grouping Data Automatically Steps: ⇒ Click anywhere in the worksheet ⇒ Click Data menu: Group and Outline: Clear Outline

Reference Workbook: Data Analysis.xls Subtotals Worksheet

Subtotaling Data Excel provides a method to subtotal your data in a list automatically without interrupting the “contiguous” flow of the records in the list. The Subtotal command groups your data based on the field you choose and calculates a subtotal based on the function you choose (i.e. Sum Average, Count, etc.) and the field you choose to calculate. Great Tip! IMPORTANT: THE LIST MUST BE SORTED BY THE FIELD YOU WILL BE GROUPING ON PRIOR TO ACTIVATING THE SUBTOTAL COMMAND.

Subtotaling Data Steps: ⇒ Click into the list ⇒ Click Data menu: Subtotals ⇒ Set the field you want to group on in the “At Each Change In” box ⇒ Set the function you want to use to calculate in the “Use Function” box ⇒ Check the field(s) you want to calculate in the “Add Subtotal to” box ⇒ Click OK

Note: To remove the Subtotals, click the Remove All button

Creating Pivot Tables Reference Workbook: Data Analysis.xls Source Data Worksheet

Creating Pivot Tables

A Pivot Table report is an interactive table that quickly combines and compares large amounts of data. You can rotate its rows and columns to see different summaries of the source data and you can display the details for areas of interest. Use a Pivot Table report when you want to analyze related totals, especially when you have a long list of figures to sum and you want to compare several facts about each figure. In the report illustrated above, you can easily see how the third-quarter golf sales in cell F3 stack up against sales for another sport or quarter, or the total sales. Because a Pivot Table report is interactive, you can change the view of the data to see more details or calculate different summaries, such as counts or averages.

20

Microsoft Excel Pivot Table Topics For The Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley - Dash Designs

Creating Pivot Tables There are Four (4) types of fields in a Pivot Table: ♦

Row



Column



Data



Page

In a Pivot Table report, each column or field in your source data becomes a Pivot Table field that summarizes multiple rows of information. In the example on the previous page, the Sport column becomes the Sport field and each record for Golf is summarized in a single Golf item. A Row field is designated as the labels for each row. A Column field is designated as the labels for each column. In choosing which field(s) will be designated as Row or Column remember that Excel is limited to 256 columns across the worksheet which may influence the decision. A Data field, such as Sum of Sales, provides the values to be summarized. Cell F3 in the report above contains the sum of the Sales value from every row in the source data for which the Sport column contains Golf and the Quarter column contains Qtr3. A Page field is designated if the user wants to filter the Pivot Table for a particular item in that Page field. To create a Pivot Table report, you run the Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Wizard. In the wizard, you select the source data you want from your worksheet list or external database. The wizard then provides you with a worksheet area for the report and a list of the available fields. As you drag the fields from the list window to the outlined areas, Microsoft Excel summarizes and calculates the report for you automatically. After you create a Pivot Table report, you can customize it to focus on the information you want: change the layout, change the format, or drill down to display more detailed data.

2 Charting Pivot Tables

Pivot Tables can be charted at the same time as they are created or any time after. The default chart type is a Stacked Column. This is a very efficient way to display the chart as many times the data in a Pivot Table is not consistent (there might not be any). There may be many values in the Data Field. Typical column or line charts do not display large amounts of data well. The chart is linked to the Pivot Table. Pivot charts contain row, column, data, and page field areas just as in the table. Any changes to fields in the Pivot Table effect the chart. As well, any changes to the fields in the chart effect the Pivot Table. Pivot Table charts can be formatted just as any chart created in Excel. That includes chart type, chart options, formatting series, legends, and data labels.

To Chart Pivot Tables

Steps: ⇒ Click into the Pivot Table ⇒ Click the Pivot Table button on the toolbar ⇒ Select Pivot Chart command ⇒ Edit the chart as necessary

2 AutoFormat Pivot Tables

Pivot Tables can be formatted just like data in any worksheet. Font, number, shading, and border formatting can be added to areas of the Pivot Table. The Pivot Table Options dialog box contains an option to Preserve formatting that will retain useradded formatting when the table data is refreshed. In addition, formatting can be added automatically using the Format Report command in the Pivot Table toolbar button. The formatting is organized by Report-types and Table-types of formatting. It is important to note that the Report-type formatting will change the orientation of the Pivot Table. They move the column fields into the row field area creating a vertical orientation. Table-type formatting will retain the vertical/horizontal orientation of the existing Pivot Table.

To AutoFormat Pivot Tables

Steps: ⇒ Click into the Pivot Table ⇒ Click the Pivot Table button on the toolbar ⇒ Select Format Report ⇒ Choose a layout from the Report-types or the Table-types ⇒ Click OK

Additional Pivot Table Information

Creating Multiple Pivot Tables From Same Source Each time you create a new Pivot Table or Pivot Chart report, Microsoft Excel stores a copy of the data for the report in memory and saves this storage area as part of the workbook file. Thus each new report requires additional memory and disk space. However, when you use an existing Pivot Table report as the source for a new report in the same workbook, both reports share the same copy of the data. Because you reuse the same storage area, the size of the workbook file is reduced and less data is kept in memory.

Location requirements To use a Pivot Table report as the source for another report, both reports must be in the same workbook. If the source Pivot Table report is in a different workbook, copy the source report to the workbook where you want the new report to appear. Pivot Table and Pivot Chart reports in different workbooks are separate, each with their own copy of the data in memory and in the workbook files. Page field settings The source Pivot Table report cannot contain any page fields that are set to query for external data as you select each item. Reports with this setting don't appear in step 2 of the wizard. To check the setting, double-click each page field, click Advanced, and make sure Retrieve external data for all page field items is selected.

Creating Multiple Pivot Tables From Same Source Changes affect both reports When you refresh the data in the new report, Excel also updates the data in the source report, and vice versa. When you group or ungroup items in one report, both are affected. When you create calculated fields or calculated items in one report, both reports are affected. Pivot Chart reports You can base a new Pivot Table or Pivot Chart report on another Pivot Table report, but not directly on another Pivot Chart report. However, Excel creates an associated Pivot Table report from the same data whenever you create a Pivot Chart report, so you can base a new report on the associated report. Changes to a Pivot Chart report affect the associated Pivot Table report, and vice versa. If you want to be able to change the layout or display different data without these changes affecting both reports, create a new Pivot Table report based on the same source data as the Pivot Chart report rather than basing it on the associated Pivot Table report. Pivot Table lists from Web pages You can export a Pivot Table list from your Web browser to Excel and view and save the list as a Pivot Table report. The new Pivot Table report and the Pivot Table list both use the same source data but no link is maintained between the list and the report.

Pivot Table Terminology Source data

Source data for the illustrations in this topic.

Field A category of data that's derived from a field in the source list or database. The Sport field, for example, might come from a column in the source list that's labeled Sport and contains the names of various sports (Golf, Tennis) for which the source list Region, Sum of Sales, Quarter, and has sales figures. Sport are fields.

Item A subcategory, or member, of a field. Items represent the unique entries from the field in the source data. For example, the item Golf represents all rows of data in the source list for which the Sport field contains the entry Golf.

3 Pivot Table Terminology Row field

The Sport field is a row field.

A Pivot Table report that has more than one row field has one inner row field (Sport, in the example below), the one closest to the data area. Any other row fields are outer row fields (Region, in the example below). Items in the outermost row field are displayed only once, but items in the rest of the row fields are repeated as needed.

Region is an outer row field; Sport is an inner row field.

Column field Field labels at the top of each column in a Pivot Table. Just as in a row field, there can be more than one column field.

The Quarter field is a column field

Pivot Table Terminology Page fields allow you to filter the entire Pivot Table report to display data for a single item or all the items.

The Region field is a page field.

Data field

The Sum of Sales field is a data field.

Data fields provide the data values to be summarized. Usually data fields contain numbers, which are combined with the Sum summary function, but data fields can also contain text, in which case the Pivot Table report uses the Count summary function. If a report has more than one data field, a single field button named Data appears in the report for access to all of the data fields.

Summary function

Data field is using the Sum function.

The type of calculation used to combine values in a data field. Pivot Table reports usually use Sum for data fields that contain numbers and Count for data fields that contain text. You can select additional summary functions such as Average, Min, Max, and Product.

3 Pivot Table Terminology Drop areas

The blue outlined regions you see when you finish the steps of the Pivot Table and Pivot Chart wizard. To lay out a Pivot Table report, you drag fields from the field list window and drop them onto the drop areas.

Field list A window that lists all of the fields available from the source data for use in the Pivot Table report. If a field is organized in levels of detail, you can click or to show or hide the lower levels. To display the data from a field in the Pivot Table report, drag the field from the field list to one of the drop areas. Field drop-down list A list of the items available for display in a field. If the field is organized in levels of detail, you can click or to see which lower-level items are selected for display. A double check mark means that some or all of the lower-level items are displayed.

Classic format

Indented format

In a Pivot Table report in indented format, the data for each row field is indented. The summarized figures for each data field appear in a single column. Refresh

To update a Pivot Table report with the most recent data from the source list or database. For example, if a Pivot Table report is based on data from a database, refreshing the report runs the query that retrieves data for the report. For reports based on worksheet data, when you change the worksheet data, you can click a button to refresh the report with the changes.

About calculations and formulas in Pivot Tables Pivot Table and Pivot Chart reports provide several types of calculations. Data fields use summary functions to combine values from the underlying source data. You can also use custom calculations to compare data values, or add your own formulas that use elements of the report or other worksheet data. How PivotTables Summarize Data

Source data

The values in the data area summarize the underlying source data in the report.

Pivot Table report made from the above source data The Month column field provides items March and April. The Region row field provides items North, South, East, and West. The value at the intersection of the April column and the North row is the total sales revenue from the records in the source data that have Month values of April and Region values of North.

About calculations and formulas in Pivot Tables

Calculations and options available in a report depend on whether the source data came from an OLAP1 database or another type of database. OLAP source data For reports that are created from OLAP cubes2, the summarized values are pre-calculated on the OLAP server before Microsoft Excel displays the results. Therefore, you cannot change how these values are calculated from within the report. You cannot change the summary function used to calculate data fields or subtotals, or add calculated fields or calculated items. If the OLAP server provides calculated fields, known as calculated members, you'll see these fields in the PivotTable field list. You'll also see any calculated fields and calculated items that are created by macros that were written in Visual Basic for Applications and stored in your workbook, but you won't be able to change these fields or items. If you need additional types of calculations, contact your OLAP database administrator. Other types of source data In reports based on other types of external data or on worksheet data, Microsoft Excel uses the Sum summary function to calculate data fields that contain numeric data, and the Count summary function to calculate data fields that contain text. You can choose a different summary function— such as Average, Max, or Min— to further analyze and customize your data. You can also create your own formulas that use elements of the report or other worksheet data, by creating a calculated field or a calculated item within a field. Hidden items in totals For OLAP source data, you can include or exclude the values for hidden items when calculating subtotals and grand totals. For other types of source data, values for hidden items are excluded by default, but you can optionally include the hidden items from page fields. 1

OLAP: A database technology that has been optimized for querying and reporting, instead of processing transactions. OLAP data is organized hierarchically and stored in cubes instead of tables.

2

CUBE: An OLAP data structure. A cube contains dimensions, like Country/ Region/City, and data fields, like Sales Amount. Dimensions organize types of data into hierarchies with levels of detail, and data fields measure quantities.

3 Custom Formula Syntax In Pivot Tables

You can create formulas only in reports that are not based on OLAP source data. Formulas are available in PivotChart reports and use the same syntax as those in PivotTable reports. For best results when working in a PivotChart report, create and edit formulas in the associated PivotTable report, where you can see the individual values that make up your data, and then view the results in the PivotChart report. Formula elements In formulas you create for calculated fields and calculated items, you can use operators and expressions as you do in other worksheet formulas. You can use constants and refer to data from the report, but you cannot use cell references or defined names. You cannot use worksheet functions that require cell references or defined names as arguments, and you cannot use array functions. Names in reports Microsoft Excel provides names to identify the elements of a report in your formulas. The names are composed of the field and item names. In the following example, the data in range C3:C9 is named Dairy.

In a PivotChart report, the field names are displayed in the field buttons, and item names can be seen in each field drop-down list. Don't confuse these names with those you see in chart tips, which reflect series and data point names instead. Examples A calculated field named Forecast could forecast future orders with a formula such as the following: =Sales * 1.2 A calculated item in the Type field that estimates sales for a new product based on Dairy sales could use a formula such as the following: =Dairy * 115%

About calculations and formulas in Pivot Tables

Spaces, numbers, and symbols in names In a name that includes more than one field, the fields can be in any order. In the example above, cells C6:D6 can be 'April North' or 'North April'. Use single quotation marks around names that are more than one word or include numbers or symbols. Totals Formulas cannot refer to totals (such as March Total, April Total, and Grand Total in the example). Field names in item references You can include the field name in a reference to an item. The item name must be in square brackets— for example, Region[North]. Use this format to avoid #NAME? errors when two items in two different fields in a report have the same name. For example, if a report has an item named Meat in the Type field and another item named Meat in the Category field, you can prevent #NAME? errors by referring to the items as Type[Meat] and Category[Meat]. Referring to items by position You can refer to an item by its position in the report as currently sorted and displayed. Type[1] is Dairy, and Type[2] is Seafood. The item referred to in this way can change whenever the positions of items change or different items are displayed or hidden. Hidden items are not counted in this index. You can use relative positions to refer to items. The positions are determined relative to the calculated item that contains the formula. If South is the current region, Region[-1] is North; if North is the current region, Region[+1] is South. For example, a calculated item could use the formula =Region[-1] * 3%. If the position you give is before the first item or after the last item in the field, the formula results in a #REF! error. In calculated item formulas, if you refer to items by their position or relative position, any options you have set under Top 10 AutoShow and AutoSort options in the PivotTable Sort and Top 10 or PivotTable Field Advanced Options dialog boxes are reset to Off or Manual, and the options become unavailable.

Pivot Table Calculation content was taken from Microsoft ® and edited and re-formatted.

Formulas operate on sum totals, not individual records Formulas for calculated fields operate on the sum of the underlying data for any fields in the formula. For example, the formula =Sales * 1.2 multiplies the sum of the sales for each type and region by 1.2; it does not multiply each individual sale by 1.2 and then sum the multiplied amounts. Formulas for calculated items, however, operate on the individual records; the calculated item formula =Dairy *115% multiplies each individual sale of Dairy times 115%, after which the multiplied amounts are summarized together in the data area.

Create Calculated Item In A Pivot Table Or Pivot Chart Steps: ⇒ If items in the field to which you want to add the calculated item are grouped, ungroup them. ⇒ Select the field or an item in the field to which you want to add the calculated item. ⇒ On the PivotTable toolbar, click PivotTable or PivotChart, point to Formulas, and then click Calculated Item. ⇒ In the Name box, type a name for the calculated item. ⇒ In the Formula box, type the formula for the item. ⇒ To use data from an item in the formula, click the field in the Fields box, click the item in the Items list, and then click Insert Item. Note: You can include only items from the same field in which you are creating the calculated item. ⇒ Click Add, and then click OK. Note: If the items were originally grouped and you ungrouped them in step 1, you can group them again or create new groups that include the new calculated item, if you want.

Create Calculated Item In A Pivot Table Or Pivot Chart

Notes Be careful that the Grand Totals do not include both the data items and the new calculated item(s) in its total (unless preferred so). If so, then remove the Grand Totals (see Pivot Table options box) and replace with another calculated item for the Grand Totals. You cannot change the summary function for fields that contain calculated items. When a cell in the data area is the intersection of a calculated item and a calculated field, the formula for the calculated field overrides the calculated item formula.

When you create a calculated field in a PivotChart report, the formula and its results are reflected in the associated PivotTable report, and vice versa. If you are working with a PivotChart report and plan to create complex formulas, it is recommended that you create the formulas in the associated PivotTable report, where you can see the individual values that make up your data, and then view the results that are plotted in the PivotChart report.
