Pivot tables are analytical tools that resemble spreadsheets or crosstab reports. Data can be sliced and diced for ad-hoc, interactive and multidimensional analysis. You can pivot your data at any time to change the way you view it, or you may drill down, or drill to detail to see how it all adds up or summarizes. Pivot tables also allow you to add, move, focus on and group dimensions to gain customized views of the data.
