In this presentation, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, takes you beyond the basics of pivot tables. David explains the PivotTable feature, the Linked Picture feature, the Recommended PivotTables feature, and others. You’ll learn how to create self-updating titles for charts and pivot charts, automate your work using macros, drill down into numbers with a simple double-click, and more.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2019. He draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2016, 2013, or 2010 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
