MS Excel is one of the most popular tools within the MS office suite. It allows users to analyze and organize large amounts of data in a matter of seconds with ready-made reports such as automatic formatting for graphs and ready-made templates for reporting such as PivotTables. A PivotTable is a data sheet within Excel which allows users to quickly move, view and organize data. Combining PivotTables is as easy as knowing one simple command.
