Lesson 7: Working with Tables, PivotTable, PivotCharts Learning Objectives Learning Goals // The goal of this lesson is for students to successfully use tables and table tools in a worksheet. The student will learn to create a table and format the table as well as work with PivotTable and PivotChart to enhance the appearance of data. On completion of this lesson, students will be able to do the following: Create a table Format a table Maintaining Data in a table Sort and Filter data in a table Understanding PivotTables Create a PivotTable Modify a PivotTable Understand PivotCharts Create a PivotChart Lesson Introduction Create and Format a Table Explain that Microsoft Excel enables users to present data using a table features. Excel table features allow for data to be inserted, deleted, and modified easily to verify accuracy. Data in tables may also be sorted or filtered to display on the data that meets a specific criteria. Excel s advanced data analyzing features also allow detailed data to be summarized and represented in easy to read PivotTables and PivotCharts. Define table, field, and record. Point out that an important component of table creation is planning based upon how the data will be used. Discuss the importance of appropriate field names which will be used as the header row for the table. Demonstrate how to create a table. Demonstrate how navigate through a table using the scroll boxes, arrow keys, tab key, and various Hot Key combinations. Remind students that freezing rows and columns can assist in table readability. This was discussed in an earlier lesson. Demonstrate how to select data and define a table using the Table command in the Tables Group on the Insert Ribbon. Point out that when a table is created and selected that the Table Tools Ribbon becomes available. Demonstrate how to rename a table using the Properties Group on the Table Tools Design Ribbon. Explain that formatting a table will change the appearance of the table and enhance to readability of the data in the table. Demonstrate how to format a table using the Table Style Options Group on the Table Tools Design Ribbon HOT KEY Move to Cell A1 (or upper most left) in the Table CTRL + HOME Move to Last Cell or (lower most right) in the Table CTRL + END Move to Last Record in the table END + down arrow Maintaining Data in a Table Explain that adding data into a table is also considered adding records into
the table. Demonstrate how to enter data into the table and use the tab key to navigate to the next data field. Point out that after data is keyed into the last field of the table, pressing the Tab key on the keyboard will create a new record in the table. Demonstrate how to the use the Find & Select Command in the Editing Group on the Home Ribbon to search for specific data in a table.

HOT KEY Enter Edit Mode F2 Sort and Filter Data in a Table Understanding and Using PivotTables Explain the benefit of sorting and filtering data in a table. Define the terms sort, sort fields, ascending order, descending order, primary sort field, secondary sort field, and filtering. Demonstrate how to sort data using the Sort Commands in the Sort and Filter Group on the Data Ribbon. Demonstrate how to sort data based on several criteria at once using the Sort Dialog box in the Sort and Filter Group on the Data Ribbon.

Demonstrate how to sort filtered data using Sort Command in the Sort & Filter Group. Demonstrate how to apply a totals row to summarize data by choosing the Total Row Option in the Table Style Options on the Table Tools Design Ribbon. Demonstrate how to change the summary calculation type by choosing the drop down in the cell on the total row. Demonstrate how to remove totals from the table area. Discuss how subtotals may be used in a table area to provide summary information of data this is being presented. Demonstrate how to apply subtotals to the table area by converting the table to a normal range and choosing the Subtotal Command in the Outline Group on the Data Ribbon. Define the term PivotTable, value fields and category fields. Explain the benefits of presenting data via a PivotTable. Demonstrate how to create a PivotTable using the PivotTable Command in the Tables Group on the Insert Ribbon. Discuss with students the layout areas of the PivotTable.
