EX-08-32 — Building Clean Product Summaries from Transactional Data

This lesson highlights a professional-grade approach for how to make Excel pivot tables that transform a wall of raw transactions into a crystal-clear summary. Using real purchase data, the video walks you through the process of dragging in product-level fields like SKU, Description, and Cost—only to discover the familiar “staircase” layout that can bury insights. You’ll then learn how to create Excel pivot tables using the Tabular layout and “No Subtotals” options to eliminate structural noise and flatten the display. From there, we add measures like count of customers, units ordered, and extended revenue—producing a smart visual that shows how many unique stores purchased each item, how much they ordered, and the overall value. This demonstration powerfully answers what are Excel pivot tables best used for: not just listing data, but summarizing it for judgment-ready analysis. Designed originally for a large well-known hardware chain, this layout removes unnecessary identifiers like customer names, keeping the spotlight on SKU-level performance. You’ll learn how to use Excel pivot tables to clarify product velocity and store engagement—without ever running formulas or prep scripts. The result? A pivot structure that speaks the language of procurement, inventory, and vendor management. With each trick captured visually, you’ll walk away knowing how to do Excel pivot tables that deliver business intelligence with polish, clarity, and impact.
