How to create a Pivot chart

Step 1 : Create data in an Excel file or Database
Step 2 : Use the data to create a PivotDiagram via the Insert Pivot Diagram menu
Step 3: Expand the Pivot Node to show various levels of sub-nodes that correspond to the data you want to analyze



A Pivot Diagram is a collection of shapes arranged in a tree structure that helps you to analyze and summarize data in a visual, easy-to-understand format. It starts out as a single shape, called a top node (the “Total” shape in the diagram), that contains information imported from the Excel worksheet. You can break the top node into a level of sub nodes to view your data in various ways.

The PivotDiagram enables users to create data linked dynamic drawings faster & easier than ever before

Data Graphics are made up of elements that give the user a more complete view of their system
