7. Column Charts
A column chart displays data vertically, with each data series forming a column
Figure 3.2 illustrates a column chart, plotting the number of majors across all colleges in It plots a single data series, including values for year 2012.
The chart area contains the entire chart and all of its elements. The plot area contains the graphical representation of values in the data series. The X-axis (Category axis) is a horizontal line that borders the plot area and often displays category labels. The Y-axis (Value axis) is a vertical line that borders the plot area and contains markers to help display the values in the data series.

33. Create a PivotTable
A PivotTable allows you to summarize, analyze, and explore large amounts of data
Data can be dynamically arranged to view it from different angles
One column must have duplicate values to create categories for organizing and summarizing data
Another column must have numeric values
Create a PivotTable by clicking PivotTable in the Tables group on the Insert tab
PivotTables help you answer questions or identify trends and patterns by allowing you to “pivot” or rotate data. You can expand or collapse details, organize and group data differently, and switch row and column categories without altering the original data source.

40. Sort, Filter, and Slice a PivotTable
Sort data in a PivotTable
Default is alphabetical by row label text
To quickly rearrange data, click in a cell in the column you want to sort, and then click Sort Smallest to Largest (Sort A to Z for text) or Sort Largest to Smallest (Sort Z to A for text) in the Sort & Filter group on the Options tab
For specialized sorting, click Sort in the Sort & Filter group on the Options tab
If you click in a row label or column label first, you get a dialog box that has slightly different options than if you click on a value first
The text on the Sort Smallest to Largest (Sort A to Z) or Sort Largest to Smallest (Sort Z to A) commands in the Sort & Filter group changes based on whether you are sorting values or text. Additionally, the dialog box options change based on whether you click on a value or text label before clicking Sort.

Apply filters to show a subset of data in a PivotTable
Two types of filters:
A report filter sets the overall conditions for aggregating data
A group filter filters out data based on a row or column category
Filter by one or multiple items, as well as by entering a search condition
When you drag a field to the Report Filter area, Excel displays the field name in cell A1 with a filter arrow in cell B1. To remove the filter entirely, remove it from the Report Filter area.
To apply group filters, click the Row labels or Column Labels arrow, and then specify the settings for the filter.
You can collapse and expand categories in the PivotTable, similar to collapsing or expanding categories in an outline.

A PivotChart is a graphical representation of data in a PivotTable.
You can create a PivotChart from a PivotTable or at the same time you create a PivotTable.
Creating and customizing PivotCharts is similar to the methods used on regular charts.
A PivotChart is interactive, meaning changes made in the associated PivotTable are immediately reflected in the PivotChart.
To create a PivotChart, click inside the PivotTable, click the Options tab, and then click PivotChart in the Tools group. Choose a chart type, and then click OK. In the PivotTable Field List, the Row Labels area changes to Axis Fields, and the Column Labels area changes to Legend Fields when you select the PivotChart.
To create the PivotTable and PivotChart at the same time, click the Insert tab, click the PivotTable arrow in the Tables group, and then select PivotChart. Select the desired options, and then click OK. Create the PivotTable. Excel builds the PivotChart as you create the PivotTable.
