Analyzing Data with Excel
FIGURE 34.5
In the Create PivotTable dialog box, you tell Excel where the data is and where you want the pivot table.
Specifying the location for the pivot table
Use the bottom section of the Create PivotTable dialog box to indicate the location for your pivot table. The
default location is on a new worksheet, but you can specify any range on any worksheet, including the
worksheet that contains the data.
Click OK, and Excel creates an empty pivot table and displays its PivotTable Field List, as shown in
Figure 34.6.
TIP
The PivotTable Field List is normally docked on the right side of Excel’s window. By dragging its
title bar, you can move it anywhere you like. Also, if you click a cell outside the pivot table, the
PivotTable Field List is hidden.
