Grouping Data Excel 2007 has many convenient features for grouping data and summarizing large worksheets. Subtotals Subtotals are not a new feature. However, grouping is now in an easy-to-find location and can be valuable with the large amounts of data that can now be on a worksheet. Excel can create subtotals based upon your column headings. This can be a great way to quickly summarize your data. The data sheet must have common fields, e.g., month, year, division, state, etc. so that you can subtotal by a specific field. Note: You CANNOT apply the subtotals feature to a worksheet that has been formatted as a table (see page 2). You can, however, use the format as table option after applying subtotals. 1. Sort your data first by the main column you want to use for your subtotals (e.g., Region). 2. Click anywhere in the list you want to subtotal. 3. From the Data tab, select Subtotals. The Subtotal dialog box displays. 20 Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota

There are also numbered buttons in the upper-left corner of your worksheet to allow you to expand and collapse, depending upon how many groupings you have created. Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota 21
Ungrouping Data To ungroup data, select the grouped columns or rows and click the Ungroup button. Note: You can print a grouped worksheet as displayed on your screen. Pivot Tables Pivot Tables have been a feature available in Excel for a long time; however, the process to create them has changed in Excel 2007. If you have never worked with pivot tables, they are a great option for summarizing a large amount of data. While the Subtotals feature covered earlier in this class allows you to summarize columns, pivot tables offer additional options. With a pivot table, you can use one or more fields within the data to control how the data displays. When you select a different field to build the table, the information pivots to display the data to emphasize that data. It is a great way to analyze information in different ways. Pivot Tables are covered in more detail in the Excel Advanced class. Sample Data List Only certain types of databases work well for pivot tables. The data should have the following characteristics: Each column should have a meaningful heading. Each column should contain the same kind of information. Some of the data should be common for multiple records. In the example above, there are multiple records for the same Division, the same Sales People, and the same State. These are the fields that can be summarized. The list should not contain any blank rows or blank columns. If possible, the list should be on a worksheet by itself. If not, at least one blank row and one blank column should separate the data. 22 Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota
Data Field Types Pivot tables use two types of fields in the data list: data fields and category fields. Value or data fields - contain numeric value, which can be calculated. In the example on the previous page, Sales and Units sold are value fields. Category Fields describe the data. In the example on the previous page, Date, State, and Division, are category fields. These fields define the numeric fields. This categorical data is alphabetic and cannot be calculated. However, the Count function can be used to determine how many records are in a particular category. Example: Sample Pivot Tables The pivot table below shows Sales by State by Division. This illustrates the total amount sold by for each division in each state. Using the same data, sales people were added to the display and the column and row headings were pivoted to display the information in a different display, Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota 23
Creating a Pivot Table Pivot tables are easy to create and modify. 1. Click anywhere inside the data list you want to summarize using a pivot table. 2. From the Insert tab, click the Pivot Table button. The Create Pivot Table dialog box displays. 3. The entire data list displays in the Table/Range: field. Optional: If necessary, modify the data range by clicking the to select a modified range of cells. Optional: In most cases it is best to have your pivot table on a new worksheet. However, you can indicate to have it on an alternate worksheet if desired. Note: Using an external data source is outside the scope of this class. 4. Click OK. A new worksheet displays with your field headings in a pane on the right side of the screen and a blank pivot table on the left. 24 Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota
5. From the field list, select the fields you want to display and summarize. By default, the category fields display on the left in the order they were selected. The number fields display on the right. See the example below. The fields were selected in this order: State, Sales, Salesperson. Pivot Table Tools When the pivot table is active, a Pivot Table Tools context-sensitive tab displays. Activate the pivot table by clicking on it. A Pivot Table Tools tab displays tools to use on your pivot table. Showing the Pivot Table Field List The field list only displays when the pivot table is active. To show the field list, click on the pivot table to activate it. If you closed the list you can turn it on again by clicking the Field List button. Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota 25
Filtering Data You can apply filters to see only the data you need. If more than one field displays in the left area of the pivot table, you can indicate filters for any field as desired. 1. Click the in the area. 2. Select or deselect the items to display the desired data. 3. If there is more than one field displaying on the left, you can click the in the Select Field: area to select an alternate field to filter. The example below displays filter options allowing a filter by either state of salesperson. 26 Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota
Modifying a Pivot Table A pivot table is very easy to modify and restructure, and there are a variety of ways to do so. You might want to display some of your categories as columns or change the order of items on your pivot table. Adding and Removing Fields To add or remove fields, simply select or deselect fields (categories) from the field list which displays on the right side of your Excel screen. Using Right-click to Modify a Pivot Table 1. Right-click on the field you want to move or change. 2. A screen displays with a variety of options. To move an item, click Move, and select the desired location. Selecting Move Sales Person to Columns creates a more compact pivot table. See below. Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota 27
Using Field List Options to Modify a Pivot Table You can also change the layout of the field list on the right-side of the screen to modify your pivot table layout. This provides a click and drag option similar to previous versions of pivot tables. Click the in the field list area to select alternate options and tools. One option (Fields Section and Areas Section Side-By- Side) displays in the example at right. You can click and drag fields to the desired location. You can also apply a report filter. See below. 28 Copyright 2008, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota
Report Filters A report filter will display at the top of your pivot table. In the example below, the Division field was added as a report filter. First, the Division field was selected to include it on the pivot table. Then, Division was dragged to the Report Filter area of the Pivot Table Field List. (Note: You can also simply click and drag the desired field to the Report Filter area.) To apply a filter, simply click the and select the desired options. Note: The Update button at the bottom of the field list is only available if you selected Defer Layout Update. This is useful when working with massive amounts of data. You can rearrange all fields as desired and then click the Update button. This saves time as you do not need to wait for each update to process before making another change. Other New Pivot Table Options Click to show or hide the expand/collapse buttons on the left side of your pivot table. Click to show or hide the field headers.
