Rather than build several regular tables to explore how columns from an Excel

worksheet relate to each other (or to see the data summarized in different ways),
you can use one PivotTable to do the same thing. With a PivotTable, you can alter
the table design without cutting, copying, pasting, or adjusting formulas and cell
references. In short, PivotTables enable you to organize your data in meaningful
ways, without doing a lot of tedious work. You could say that a PivotTable is like
several data tables rolled into one.
Ideally, the source data for a PivotTable should be structured like a traditional
Excel table or database. The source data should have a row of unique column
headings distinguishing the data, and there should be no empty columns interspersed
within the data. Also, blank rows in the source data can limit the usefulness of
your PivotTable.
