    Explanation
    Pivot tables allow filtering through different values. Pivot tables are a data summarization tool used in spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel. They allow users to manipulate and analyze large amounts of data by organizing it into a more manageable format. One of the key features of pivot tables is the ability to filter data based on different values, such as specific dates, categories, or numerical ranges. This allows users to focus on specific subsets of data and gain insights more easily.

    Creating tables is as easy as highlighting cells that have already been filled in appropriately and then clicking on the insert tab and then clicking on the table button.

    • A.

    Correct Answer
    E. Yes, it is that simple, but the highlighted cells should not have blank cells.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Yes, it is that simple, but the highlighted cells should not have blank cells." This answer explains that creating tables in Excel is indeed easy, but the highlighted cells should not contain any blank cells. This means that all the cells that are being selected to create a table should have data in them, and not be empty.

This means that you can apply different filters, remove them, and apply new ones multiple times to manipulate the data in the table according to your requirements. So, the correct answer is that you can change filters as many times as you please without any limitations.

    For a table to work properly, the top row should have column headings. Yes or no? 

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No, only rows may have headings.

    • C.

      No 

    • D.

      Can't say

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    In order for a table to work properly, the top row should have column headings. Column headings help to identify and label the data in each column, making it easier for users to understand and interpret the information in the table. Without column headings, it would be difficult to differentiate between different columns and make sense of the data presented in the table. Therefore, it is necessary for the top row of a table to contain column headings.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Check all that are true.

    • A.

    • B.

      The boxes that are checked indicate that the table will filter in that data.

    • C.

      The boxes that are unchecked indicate that the table will filter out that data.

      The boxes that are unchecked indicate that the table will not filter in that data unless values are present.

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. The boxes that are checked indicate that the table will filter in that data.
    C. The boxes that are unchecked indicate that the table will filter out that data.
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that when a box is checked, it means that the table will include or filter in the data that corresponds to that box. On the other hand, when a box is unchecked, it means that the table will exclude or filter out the data that corresponds to that box. This implies that the checked boxes indicate the data that will be included, while the unchecked boxes indicate the data that will be excluded from the table's filtering process.

    Pivot tables can indeed be easily turned into graphs or charts by highlighting the entire pivot table and selecting the desired graph or chart format.

By converting a pivot table into a graph or chart, users can further enhance their understanding of the data and communicate it more effectively.
