So, how does using a pivot table to perform large scale enterprise business calculations look like? Check out the below example, in which we have used the Excel tool named Pivot Table to complete the task mentioned in the earlier blog i.e. Summing sales in dollars by customer. We were able to prepare the report in a matter of few seconds based on the input data tab.

Image
The traditional sorting methods that we've been using so far present a small problem: what happens if we want to order our list chronologically month wise? Our month names have been entered as text strings rather than dates, so alphabetization will not work: if we sort from A to Z, February will come first, then January, followed by March.
