How To Use Slicers To Edit PivotTable Data in Microsoft Excel Tutorial

Microsoft Excel 2010 – Using slicers to filter PivotTable data 
Slicers are visual controls that let you quickly filter data in a PivotTable in an interactive, intuitive way. If you insert a slicer, you can use buttons to quickly segment and filter the data to display just what you need. In addition, when you apply more than one filter to your PivotTable, you no longer have to open a list to see which filters are applied to the data. Instead, it is shown there on the screen in the slicer. You can make slicers match your workbook formatting and easily reuse them in other PivotTables, PivotCharts, and cube functions.

12 Time-Saving Tips in Microsoft Excel 2010

Excel 2010 – 12 Time Saving Tips

1. Add content or formatting to multiple sheets at once

You can add content or apply formatting to two or more of the sheets on a multisheet worksheet by “grouping” the sheets together. When you group multiple sheets, any content or formatting that you add to one sheet also gets added to all the other sheets, so you can add a row of headers to one sheet and have it automatically appear on all the sheets that are grouped together with it. To group all the sheets in a worksheet, right-click on any of the tabs in the lower left of the window, and click Select All Sheets. If you only want to select two or more individual sheets, hold down the Ctrl key and click on the tabs of the sheets that you want to format or edit at the same time. When two or more sheets are grouped, Excel adds the word “[Group]” (in square brackets) after the sheet’s name in the title bar. Read the rest of this entry »
