What Are Google Sheets Pivot Charts? How Do They Work?
In simple terms, a Google sheet pivot chart help in summarizing a large set of data to draw meaningful conclusions.
When you have a spreadsheet with little information, it is easy to understand and make inferences from it. But as the data piles up, all you can see are numbers. This is when it starts to get difficult to conclude that huge amount of information.
For instance, consider the sample data that consists of details about sales achieved by employees of stationery stores. At first, you’ll have a lot of numbers, dates, and text under the column - date of sale, the region of sale, employee name, which item is sold, how many units are sold, cost of each unit, and total expense. It’s tough to make sense of this data.
But by using Google sheets pivot chart, you can confine a large data set and easily analyze relationships between the data. For example, you can use a pivot chart to answer questions like:
Which employee brought the most revenue in a particular month?
Which region made the most sales?
How many units of XYZ were sold?
Which employee failed to reach their targets?
