Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application in which you can organize information into columns and rows. Then you can apply a Pivot Table to the data, and Excel automatically creates an entirely new spreadsheet complete with analytical calculations that summarize your data. In most cases, Excel inserts this Pivot Table into its own new worksheet. There are two simple ways to copy the Pivot Table to another worksheet inside the Excel document. This is useful if you want to format or manipulate the Pivot Table without losing its original version.
