Before You Begin

A PivotChart is based on a PivotTable: they go together. This lesson begins with a PivotTable. After the PivotTable is set up, we will review the PivotChart options in Microsoft Excel 2010.

 

You can use a spreadsheet that you created or download a sample spreadsheet if you wish.

1. Try This: Open a Sample Spreadsheet
Open a sample spreadsheet: Sales2010.xlsx
Go to the Original Data sheet.

What Do You See? This sheet shows the product sales for Charlotte' Website. The first row is BOLD: it is the Header Row. There are many rows of data.
 



Memo to Self: You do not have to MATCH the numbers shown on these pages. It is more important that you begin with some data and understand the options.
