    I'm so glad that you keep showing up on my youtube front page. I have been using pivot tables on and off for decades, and even took a college course on excel in the middle of that . . but sometimes I forget, or features change when I'm not looking. I knew there had to be a way to combine tables and do calcs and change titles, but I was too lazy to look. I love your videos!

  • @BalrogsHaveWings

    More great tips, thanks again Chandoo!
    Random thought: When it comes to naming ranges, I tend to use a prefix to identify what it is... For example, a table name begins with "tbl", or a list name begins with "lst"...
    I find this helps me sort of categorise my ranges, search and identify them easily.

    Data models are a game changer. It is best to know details about "single to many" and "many to many" behaviors when building relationships. It would also be good to learn about primary key and foreign key when building out your reports. The data modelling /DAX measures features also come in handy in Power BI.

    Hi Chandoo... One thing I don't really like about Table, when the size of table is quietly big, the speed of Pivot Table when refreshed was impacted a lot. I prefer to use a normal range instead of table, but I used dynamic range (name range), so when the data adding, no need to change manually the source of the Pivot Table Range. One thing also I don't like about Table, when we working with macro, when the size of the table is big enough, the running speed of the macro also impacted.

    0:55
    1:27: Problem: After adding people to the data, how to see it appear in Pivot table
    1:45 Reason
    2:12 Solution: Click any cell,
    Then table button, OK,
    Insert pivot table,
    Tick "Add this data to the data model"
    Now on new sheet: Department into rows, employer ID number to values ,
    Now when adding extra employees and refreshing, the total will increase
    5:23 Problem: How to know how many people we have got by gender or employee type
    Solution: Employee type to filters, those these means many clicks,
    Correct way is to right click on employee type, add as slicer
    Now we will have a floating box of filter choices
    6:58 Problem: How to see against the budget how much is the actual salary we are paying and do some variance analysis
    Solution: Click one cell on the department and salary budget table, control T to add table
    On the main table, summarise with pivot,
    Tick: Add this data to the data model
    Now on new sheet, on Pivot Table fields, can see both tables on the "All"
    To connect: Pivot Table analyse, Relationships, new,
    Staff table, department column
    Departments table, department column
    Under department table: Drag department to rows, Salary budget to values
    Under staff table: Drag salary to values
    Now can compare salary to budget
    9:55 Problem: Salary Variance Calculate (Continued from previous)
    Solution: Right click staff table on Pivot table fields,
    Add measure, name it "Salary Variance"
    In formula part: [ sum of salary budget ] - [ sum of salary ]
    Apply currency
    now ca drag fx salary variance to values

    Hello Sir, Thank you so much for the knowledge that you're sharing. It is really very helpful. I have a question related to this video. I have a list of employees with the amount that is deposited in their bank account in payroll and I have another table from my software it has multiple columns and each employee ID is duplicate. basically it is a bifurcation of salary in tips, basic pay, HRA, commissions etc that is why there are duplicate IDs. I tried to apply the same method that you've been teaching but I'm unable to connect the tables. it throws the error of duplicate values. Could you please help in this matter.
