This is the second video in a series that covers the nuts and bolts of Pivot Tables in Microsoft Excel. This series is designed for students and coaches seeking to learn access to compete in the UIL High School Computer Applications contest but has proven to be useful for anyone seeking to learn or brush up on their Excel skills. In this lesson, we focus on intermediate level features and capabilities of pivot tables in Excel. In this lesson, we focus on duplicating or copying existing pivot tables, grouping manually to create new fields within a pivot table, using subtotals - adding them, determining where they'll show, picking what math function to use for them, etc, formatting values within pivot tables, displaying values in alternative way (as a percentage of row totals, as a percentage of column totals, as a percentage of grand totals, etc), sorting and filtering fields by values (of that field or other fields) to order data in more useful ways, utilizing filtering to show top 10 (or any other count) or bottom 10 (or any other count) of items, etc.  To illustrate these things, we'll work with a pivot table that we create off of a provided data set. Note that a starting point worksheet is attached as is the ending point worksheets (in the attached Excel workbook) in order to allow you to work off of the starting document and compare your results to the ending document.
