It discusses how to drill down as well as how to create multiple reports from one pivot table. It also discusses how to create and add other formulas and items to an existing pivot table. Finally, it shows you how to update your pivot table with new data without recreating it every time. Using pivot tables to analyze data is one of, if not the best, features in Excel. Pivot Tables are a huge time saver if you are working with lots of data.
