Lesson 3 of 4

Build a pivot-style summary

Group by region and product without duplicating totals.

Do the work

  1. Use two dimensions as the grouping key.
  2. Keep each region-product group once.
  3. The source sales are East PEN 6, East PEN 9, East MUG 12, West PEN 3.

See the method

East PEN combines 6 and 9 into 15.

Practice independently

Take it further

A pivot table performs the same group-and-sum operation with a graphical interface.
