How to Use This Book
This book can be used as a tutorial or quick reference visual guide. It is intended for users who are comfortable with the basics of Microsoft® Excel® and are now ready to build upon this skill by learning Pivot Tables and Charts.
This book assumes you already know how to create, open, save, and modify an Excel® workbook and have a general familiarity with the Excel® toolbar (Ribbon).
Most of the examples in this book use Microsoft Excel 2016. However, the functionality and formulas can be applied with Microsoft Excel version 2013. Although the screenshots in this book use Microsoft Excel 2016, functionality and display are not very much different if you are using Excel 2013.
Please always back-up your work and save often as we go. A good best practice when attempting any new functionality is to create a copy of the original spreadsheet and implement your changes on the copied spreadsheet. Should anything go wrong, you then have the original spreadsheet to fall back on.
