Pivot table training topics include creating a simple pivot table, changing pivot table layouts, creating a spreadsheet for each page of the pivot table, refreshing a pivot table, formatting a pivot table, and adding and removing fields and multiple field headings.
CD-ROM-based pivot table training typically provides detailed visual instruction and examples. Users are prompted by the program to complete tasks step by step. Once completed, users are guided through a self-evaluation process.
While some CD-ROM training packages are self-sufficient, others rely on other programs. Users may need to have already installed a spreadsheet program and a presentation program (e.g., PowerPoint) in order to use the training software.
