Excel Pivot Tables Tutorials: My YouTube Playlist

I have been organizing the video tutorials on my YouTube Channel – DannyRocksExcels – into Playlists.

I quickly realized that I have more videos (70 +) that focus on Excel Pivot Tables than on any other topic. So, having a playlist for all 70 (and growing) Pivot Table Tutorials is a great help when you need to learn about Pivot Tables. Or, simply to refresh your memory about how to use a specific Pivot Table Tool.

Scope of My Pivot Table Tutorials

I posted my first Pivot Table Tutorial on YouTube back on August 1, 2008. So far, that 7 minute Introduction to Pivot Tables in Excel 2003 has received over 90,000 views! Since then, I have created Pivot Table videos for Excel 2007 and Excel 2010.

How to Prevent Empty Cells from Displaying in a Pivot Table

IPivot Table Optionsn response to one of my viewers, I demonstrate how to prevent “empty cells” from displaying in a Pivot Table Report. In my experience, I have found that clients and colleagues who are unfamiliar with Pivot Tables tend to “doubt the numbers” when they see these “empty cells.”

What You Will Learn

In my video, I demonstrate:

  • How to use Pivot Table Options to show a Zero instead of “blanks.”
  • How to “drill down” to reveal the details for any Subtotal.
  • How to use a great Keyboard Shortcut to apply and clear Filters.

Two Glowing Reviews for my Excel Video Tutorials

Today, two of my customers posted glowing reviews for my Excel Video Tutorials. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

9 Essential Skills for Excel 2010

9 Essential Skills for Excel 2010 Video Tutorial

“Nine Essential Skills for Excel 2010”

“In my opinion the 9 Essential Skills for Excel 2010 , is an outstanding training video. It covers a lot of the required intermediate requirements. One thing that really stands out for me is the method of presentation. Danny always:

  • a) explains what he is going to do in simple language 
  • b)demonstrates what he has just explained
  • c)shows you where to find the icons on the ribbon
  • d)shows you the keyboard shortcuts to use(they actually appear on the video as they are used.

The video also had a good introduction to the value of using tables. Like all of Danny’s videos this should be a fantastic success.

– John J, Canada

Pivot Tables for Excel 2003

“Excel 2003 Pivot Tables to Summarize, Analyze, and Present Information”

“A mere few hours with your Excel 2003 course and I was able to
perform pivot table operations which had eluded me for over a year
using multiple other publications totaling nearly 1,500 pages: while those sources are terrific, each of us learns differently, your courses certainly fill that learning gap for me.

I deal with mostly with cumulative metrics, that is, incremental, week to week.

After two evenings of your course, I was able to build tables presenting the year, month, quarter & weekly totals of the multiple tools deployed, and, amazingly, display the incremental changes down to a week-to-week basis.

You had mentioned that you hoped I enjoyed the course, of course, I enjoyed the course – indeed, but after a year-plus struggle with several other sources, the *learning* from your course was the true reward!”

– Paul B., Colorado

How to Group People by Age Bracket Using an Excel Pivot Table

Pivot Table for Age Brackets

Pivot Table to Group Age Brackets

In my previous Excel Tutorial, I demonstrated how to use the Group Field command in a Pivot Table to summarize time periods by the Hour. Several viewers wanted to know what other grouping possibilities are available in Pivot Tables. One viewer wanted to know how to group people who responded to a survey by Age Brackets. That is why I created this tutorial!

Use DATEDIF Function to Calculate Age

From my perspective, the DATEDIF() is an invaluable function. However, it is not documented in Excel. Watch how I use its three arguments to calculate the age of each person in the data set.

Group Field by Age

Select a single value in the “Age” Field and then select the “Group Field” Command. In the dialog box, choose the “step-value” for your groups. In this case, I chose the Default Setting of 10 years.

Show Pivot Table Values As

Some of the most powerful Pivot Table tools are found on the “Show Values As” tab of the “Value Field Settings” Dialog Box. Watch me demonstrate how to show each Age Bracket as a Percentage of the Column.

Apply Conditional Formatting to Pivot Table

Take advantage of the greatly improved Conditional Formatting Commands in Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 to focus attention on the key information in your Pivot Table. In this case, I use the “Top 10 Items” rule to apply Conditional Formatting to the two highest Age Brackets- by percentage – for each gender.

Learn Excel Pivot Tables Quickly

Follow this link to learn about the focused 90 minute video tutorials that I have published to help you to really learn how to get the most out of Pivot Tables. Available in versions for Excel 2003, Excel 2007, and Excel 2010.

How to Group an Excel Pivot Table Field to Summarize By Hours

Pivot Table Summary Report By Hour

Pivot Table Summary Report By Hour

After viewing my previous video tutorial, one of my subscribers asked me to demonstrate how to actually summarize a minute-by-minute Excel report into an hour-by-hour report.

My viewer was unfamiliar with Pivot Tables – as are many Excel users – so I created this video to show him – and you how to do this.

Group a Pivot Table Field

Begin by right-clicking a single cell in the Time Field and choosing Group Field. In the dialog box, deselect Month and choose Hour. That’s it – it’s that simple!

Apply Conditional Formatting to the Top 10%

Beginning with Excel 2007, Conditional Formatting has been tremendously improved. Watch how I apply a “Top 10%” Conditional Format Rule with three mouse clicks!

Purchase My 90 Minute Focused Pivot Table Tutorial

Whether you are a novice or an experienced user of Excel Pivot Tables, you will learn some great Tips and Techniques when you purchase my 90 minute video tutorial: “Summarize, Analyze and Present Information with Excel Pivot Tables.”
