Tasks in Power Pivot Tables

The main purpose of PowerPivot is to provide a method to summarize a large amount of data. And makes it simple to understand by displaying the data properly and easily, so that the user can easily analyze the large numerical data in detail.  
Now let’s try to understand it by using some different examples, of where the PowerPivot can be a useful tool:

• While Comparing the Sales Data: Think of a scenario, where a user needs to maintain a large sales data on a monthly basis, which contains several different products.  The user needs to analyze, which product is been bringing the most busk. Of course, it can be done manually, but it will take a lot amount of time, to do it one by one. Instead, by using the pivot table, it can be done in just a few seconds. 
• While Creating a List of Employees of Different Departments: Well power pivot is known for automatically doing the calculations. Think of a case, where, where the user has a list of employees, who belongs to several different departments. and the user needs to sort the data out by the name of each department and the counts of employees this work can be a headache if it has to be done manually. However, by creating the pivot table, the data can be sorted by the name of each department and the names of the employees under the department name. With the help of Excel Pivot, this kind of manual work can be done effectively. 
• In the case shown of Sorting and Combining Duplicate Data: In this example, think of a scenario, where a user has several duplications in the data, which is affecting the overall sum of data. In this case, the user will have to go through all the data manually to find the duplications and then sort all the data out. Instead, with the help of a pivot table, in just a few steps, the data can be aggregated automatically.
• It shows ExcelExcel the Total Product Sales as Percentages: usually, pivot automatically shows the totals off each row and column while creating them. But it has some other features that make the work easy. Let’s take an example, suppose, a user has quarterly sales data of several different products in Excel sheets, and he turns this data into the pivot table, now the pivot will automatically show the total of each product at the bottom of each column. In addition, if the user needs to know the percentage of each product’s sales, it can also be configured in just a few steps.

To make the pivot table show product sales as percentages of total sales, it simply needs to set a setting by clicking on the right button, in the cell carrying the sales total, and then, simply select the “Show Values As > % of Grand Total”.

Power Pivot serves as an Excel add-on enabling robust data analysis and the creation of advanced data models. This tool facilitates the integration of extensive data from diverse sources, enabling swift information analysis and seamless sharing of insights.

Whether working in Excel or Power Pivot, users can generate a Data Model comprising interconnected tables. The data model visible in an Excel workbook corresponds to the one in the Power Pivot window. Importing data into Excel makes it accessible in Power Pivot and vice versa.
