pivot table
Data aggregation grid
A pivot table is a data summarization tool in spreadsheet software that reorganizes and aggregates information from a larger dataset.
Users can drag fields to rows, columns, and value areas to analyze data from different angles—seeing sales by region, then by product, then by quarter—without altering the original data.
The pivot table revealed that Q3 outperformed every other quarter.
