Read the first 6 Excel Pivot Charts flashcards as text

  1. What is the main difference between a PivotChart and a standard Excel chart?

    Answer: A PivotChart is linked to a PivotTable and updates as fields change

    PivotCharts are bound to PivotTable data and include interactive field buttons.

  2. Which ribbon tab contains the command to insert a PivotChart?

    Answer: Insert

    PivotChart is in the Charts group on the Insert tab.

  3. In the PivotChart Fields pane, fields placed in the Axis (Categories) area correspond to which PivotTable area?

    Answer: Rows

    Axis categories map to Row fields in the underlying PivotTable.

  4. Which chart type is NOT available for a PivotChart?

    Answer: XY Scatter

    Scatter, bubble, and stock charts cannot be created as PivotCharts.

  5. What do the gray buttons displayed on a PivotChart allow you to do?

    Answer: Filter, sort, and expand fields directly on the chart

    Field buttons provide interactive filtering and sorting without touching the PivotTable.

  6. What happens to a PivotChart when the underlying PivotTable is deleted?

    Answer: The chart becomes a static regular chart with the last data

    Without its PivotTable, the chart converts to a standard chart with fixed data.
