About the course

In this class we will be delving into some advanced PivotTable tricks. We will be looking at taking your PivotTable knowledge deeper and further than the standard user.

During the class we cover advanced calculations such as calculated fields, ranking and comparisons to other field data. We look at the GETPIVOTDATA function also to pull data from a PivotTable.

We cover grouping date fields into years and months and then comparing values to previous years and months.

There are various PivotTable setting that can be changed to get more from them. Many users are unaware of these and don’t have time to look. This class will show you them.

We finish with utilising Slicers to the fullest and the secret settings to take them to another level.

If this sounds like fun. Enrol and I will see you in the class.

Hello, my name is Alan Murray and I have been training and consulting in Excel now for over 20 years. I have had the pleasure in helping individuals and businesses from all around the world improve their Excel skills.

I set up Computergaga about 10 years ago to help spread the latest Excel tips and to engage with other Excel experts and learners. It has grown beyond my expectations and I hope to get the chance to speak with many of you soon.

I have a real passion for Excel and I hope that it comes across in my classes. I believe that it helps if you enjoy what you are learning.

I currently live in Ipswich, on the east coast of England. I have two beautiful children. So they take up most of my time away from Excel. If I’m not with them or Excel, I can probably be found running.
