For example, if you were to drag the Salesperson field into the area labeled Drop Row Fields Here , you’d see one row for each salesperson’s name.

Some likely questions: Do you need to know sales totals by region, by salesperson, by quarter, or by month? Would your business do better if your best people sold only top products? Or would that mean whole product lines with no revenue?
So for example, you can move in a second from a report that lists sales by salesperson, to a report listing sales by country, or how salespeople are ranked by order amounts. It’s like turning a mob into a marching band.
In more granular detail: You’ll learn how to drag selected data into the PivotTable layout area, and you’ll see how the new view answers your questions about a list of sales figures in Excel. [ Note to trainer : Steps—given in either numbered or bulleted lists—are always shown in yellow text.]
Note: The PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard is also used to create Microsoft PivotChart reports, which are graphical versions of PivotTable reports. PivotChart reports aren’t covered in this course.
You could spend more time with the wizard, but in this example it’s not necessary.
The new worksheet will also display the PivotTable toolbar.
To create a PivotTable view of your data, you’ll drag fields from the field list and drop them onto the layout area. The following section covers this in more detail.
Next, you’ll see how to determine which fields to drop into the layout area (you don’t have to use all of them).
The Data Items drop area is where you usually drop data containing numbers because Excel automatically adds up numbers in this area.
[ Note to trainer : With Excel 2003 installed on your computer, you can click the link in the slide to go to an online practice. In the practice, you can work through each of these tasks in Excel, with instructions to guide you. Important : If you don’t have Excel 2003, you won’t be able to access the practice instructions.]
