Description

Microsoft® Excel® 2010: Getting Started with PivotTable and PivotChart Reports In One Quick and Easy Lesson is a basic level course that guides you through summarizing worksheet data by creating, filtering and formatting a PivotTable report and a PivotChart report.

The Excel 2010 Office Fluent user interface, first introduced with Excel 2007, is very different from the Excel 2003 (and earlier Excel versions) user interface. Additionally, the Excel 2010 File tab and Backstage view replace the Excel 2007 Office button and menu. Therefore, you must use Excel 2010 to complete these lessons.
