Well, I have you enjoyed this series on pivot tables (you can start again at one and work your way through two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight any time you want to.
However, today I just wanted to let you know about an excellent Add-in developed by Debra Dalgleish for pivot tables called PivotPower Premium.
In this she helps solve some of the annoyances that come with pivot tables e.g. sometimes number fields appear as Count instead of Sum – her add-in allows you to change them all quickly from Count to Sum (instead of tediously changing them individually)
Here’s an example where she used the PivotPower add-in to combine data from identical Excel workbooks…

Mr. Excel (aka Bill Jelen) is one of the Excel gurus. I love his stuff. He also has a slightly bonkers delivery (What! Excel! Fun!) that I thoroughly enjoy. And of course anyone who calls his Excel publishing book company Holy Macro! gets my vote.

Xtreme Pivot Tables course
This is a very comprehensive course on pivot tables. It includes videos and workbooks. There are over 200 hours of videos on it and it takes you from having no knowledge of pivot tables to being a power user. If you know everything in this course, you know an awful lot about pivot tables. John explains the concepts in bite size chunks so they are easy to follow and even provides a tutorial spreadsheet so you can track your progress. This would be money well spent. If you would like to become the go-to person in your organisation for pivot tables, this would be an excellent starting point.
He also has a useful Pivot Table webinar…
This is also a useful chart helper.

Master 30 Excel functions in 30 days –This is a rather brilliant e-book which covers 30 functions including Vlookup,Match, offset. It includes an Excel file, e-book and links to videos that shows you how to do it – all for the princely sum of $10. What I particularly like about it are her descriptions, explanations and what the limitation of each function is. Highly recommended. If you want to upgrade your Excel skills this is a very worthwhile investment.
