MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Excel, you can create a PivotChart report to represent the data displayed in your PivotTable report. A PivotChart combines the interactive summarization of data provided by the PivotTable with the visual benefits of a Microsoft Excel chart. With a PivotChart you can quickly change the view of the chart to see comparisons and trends by moving fields to different categories, or filtering data in a page field. However, if you delete the data in a PivotTable report after creating a PivotChart from the PivotTable data, the Undo command on the Edit menu will be unavailable.
