Pivot Table Screen Shots

This document provides instructions for creating a pivot table and chart from a dataset. It explains how to drag variables into different areas of the pivot table to group them as independent or dependent variables. It also describes how to right click and change settings to display averages and standard deviations rather than counts. Finally, it recommends making a single large pivot table rather than multiple smaller ones by continually adding variables to the left and right boxes.

You are on page 1/ 6

Highlight the entire data set

(including LABELS), then


CLICK Data, which gets us a
MENU with PIVOT TABLE and
PIVOT CHART REPORT,
which gets you the BOX, below
Click NEXT and keep doing so,
until you get a FINISH














































When you do the last FINISH,
then this PIVOT TABLE pops up
on a new Sheet. You then start
dragging VARIABLES into the
DROP ROW (for independents),
and DROP DATA ITEMS (for
dependents)
This is how the PIVOT TABLE
changes when youve dragged
and dropped Activity into this
space.
When you drag and drop Systolic
into the DROP DATA ITEMS
box, it automatically drops in
COUNTS of SYSTOLIC (here,
64 measurements). We need to
change COUNTS to AVERAGE














































You RIGHT CLICK the Count
of Systolic and a box opens and
then you CLICK FIELD
SETTINGS (not shown), and the
box below opens up. Here you
change Count to Average and
you get the result below.
Now drop Systolic into the
DATA BOX again, and you will
see another Count of Systolic
pop in there. You change this to
StdDev by RIGHT CLICKING
on Count of Systolic and
resetting that to StdDev














































To re-arrange this table to make
it easier to use (especially to
make charts), DRAG and DROP
the Data label over to Total.
To make charts (COLUMN or
BAR) click on the Chart Wizard
and youll get an instant chart on
a new sheet (or in the one with
your data).














































Finally, rather than making a dozen or more of these
specific PIVOT TABLES, you can make just one giant
one, by continually putting dependent variables in the far
RIGHT box and independent variables in the far LEFT
box.
