This document contains sales data for various beverage, condiment, confection, dairy, and grain/cereal products organized by category, product, sales amount, and quarter. There are 287 rows of sales data spanning multiple categories of food and beverage products sold over four quarters. Pivot tables can be used to analyze and extract insights from this large dataset since it would be difficult to understand trends and results from the raw sales data due to the large number of records.

You can use the data to the left to experiment with creating sample PivotTable reports using the PivotTable template on the worksheet named PivotTable Template.
If you scan through this data, you'll notice that it's difficult to see the trends and results, even if you sort or filter the data. There are just too many records to analyze at a glance.
Compared with the large databases your company may have available, or you may have found on the Internet, this 287-row list is fairly short and simple. Excel can retrieve much larger amounts of data than this, and PivotTable reports are one of the best Excel tools for extracting the significance from a large, detailed data set.
The data is organized in list format, similar to how a query returns database records: each column contains similar data, the columns have headings in the first row, and the list isn't interrupted by any blank rows or columns (although blank cells within the data are OK). The list is sorted by Category.
This workbook contains sample source data (on the current worksheet named Source Data), a PivotTable structure based on the source data (on the worksheet named PivotTable Template), and a sample PivotTable that was created from the source data and PivotTable structure. The sample is on the worksheet named Sample PivotTable Report.
This PivotTable report was created using the source data on the worksheet named Source Data. It shows sales totals for each product category.
This PivotTable was created by placing the Category field in the Drop Row Fields Here area of the PivotTable structure. Then, the Sales field was placed in the Drop Data Items Here area. Then, the cells in the Total column were formatted as currency.
