Excel is spreadsheet software that is part of the Microsoft Office Suite. You can use Excel in many ways. You can use it to organize data or to create reports that analyze the data you have entered. You can create a PivotTable report to analyze data, which makes viewing and analyzing the data easier. If you are using a PivotTable and want to change rows to columns, it is easy to do so. Depending on the type of data you are viewing, it may make it easier to analyze by making this change.
