Hi there Sci Fi fans, my name is Maurice Humphrey.I am a Vermont native, husband, father, grandfather, well over 60, Navy veteran, retired IBM engineer, retired printer repairman, Graduated: Goddard Jr. College, VT Technical College, and Trinity College. Over the years I’ve written technical articles, taught technical classes, and presented at technical conventions.I’ve been reading science fiction for over 50 years now. First books were “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” by Jules Verne and “The Stars Are Ours” by Andre Norton. I’ve read and collected many great stories, and a considerable amount of junk ones as well. I’d say by now that I probably have a good idea of what I consider a good story.

Introduction
The Easy Excel Essentials 2019 series of titles are for intermediate-level users who want to focus on one specific topic such as PivotTables, Charts, Conditional Formatting, or the IF Functions.
The content of each title is extracted from either Excel 2019 Intermediate or Excel 2019 Formulas & Functions which cover intermediate-level Excel topics in more detail.
These books are written using Excel 2019 and assuming that a user is working in that program. If you are using an older version of Excel, the Easy Excel Essentials series may be a better choice since it was written using Excel 2013 and for a more general audience of Excel users.
With that introduction, let’s dive in on how to use PivotTables.
PivotTables
Before we get started, for the record I passionately hate how they write PivotTable as one word with capital letters in the middle. But that’s how they do it, so that’s how we’ll try to do it. (I may slip up once or twice, but I’ll try to catch myself. While we’re on the subject I also passionately hate how their labels and menu options in their dialogue boxes don’t use title case and so you’ll often see that I do.)
Alright then. Now that that’s out of my system.
If you learn one intermediate-level Excel concept let it be PivotTables. I literally chose to write the first two books in the original Excel Essentials series (Excel for Beginners and Intermediate Excel) in order to teach writers how to use Excel well enough for them to use PivotTables.
That’s how useful these things are: I was willing to write thousands of words about the basics of Excel just to get people to the point where we are right now where I could teach them how to use PivotTables.
What They Do
So what are PivotTables? What do they do? Why are they so special?
A PivotTable takes rows and rows of data and lets you create a nice little summary table of that data based upon your chosen parameters.
Let me give you an example of how this can be useful.
Let’s say you sell widgets, whatsits, and whatchamacallits. And every time you sell one of those items your distributor (the place you sell through) creates a line of data in an Excel worksheet that has the state where the sale occurred, the retail price, and the net amount due to you for that transaction, and you want to know what you’ve earned in each state so you can target advertising.
You could filter your data to see this or use subtotals even, but a far better option is to create a
