Buidence from the Experts, By
This review is from: Pivot Table Data Crunching for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (Paperback)
Pivot Tables are one of the most powerful yet least used features of Excel. The author's MrExcel web site conducted a survey that showed that less than 42% of Excell users make use of pivot tables. I believe his estimate is high. Only experts are likely to visit his web site. I don't believe that 42% of the people who use Excel have even heard of pivot tables.I further think that part of the problem is the name Pivot Table. This is primarily a Microsoft term (Microsoft has trademarked the word PivotTable - with no space), but the original functionality came from Lotus Improv.

This Book Needs to be Edited, By Bob V (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pivot Table Data Crunching for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (Paperback)
There are no references in the book to the applicaplbe practice files (downloadable leaveing the user to open the various files and determine which is applicable to a given exercises. I'm only in Ch 3 and have found references within the text to tables within the text that do not exist. Example, Ch 3, pg 51 references Cell B7 in figure 3.7.Figure 3.7 is a dialog box displaying how to change a field name. The book itself seems to have excellent content; however, I've found nomenclature to be inconsistent, practice files not identified, and references not accurate. Very informative book be very frustrating to use.

Great stuff, By
This review is from: Pivot Table Data Crunching for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (Paperback)
This book helped tremendously during my early stages using PT, without a doubt I would recommend this book to someone who just started to incorporate Pivot Table into their work. One recommendation, It would be nice if a CD with all the work examples came with the book, unfortunately you have to download the example files from a website.
