This leads to data-driven business decisions that have a better chance for success for everyone involved.
We are now living in the age of big data. Data is being collected all the time and for increasingly detailed transactions. This can lead to an overwhelming amount of data, which brings about a need for people who can analyze large amounts of data quickly. Fortunately, Microsoft® Excel® provides Power Pivot to help you organize, manipulate, and report on your data in the best way possible.
