A student asked me how to make a Pivot Table in Excel 2007 and group by a field. So I just drew up this simple video. I thought I’d release it.. Enjoy.. It is so easy! View the screencast below: [PLAYER=pivot_table.m4v]
Andrew Davies is a marine biologist at the University of Rhode Island in the USA. He works on reefs, using a mixture of natural history, experimentation and novel technologies to untangle the ecology of these enigmatic habitats.
