Pivot can be very powerful for data analysis, but tables are good for maintaining databases. @Michelle: The sumif formula in the article is written outside the table in a cell. If you write formulas in and copy (ctrl+c) and paste them, then the references are not changed. But if you drag the cell (thus auto-fill), then the cell references to table columns are changing. Not sure why excel would behave like this. Also, inside the table, you can use [#this row] operator to calculate values for that row alone. @Frederick: I use camtasia studio to record the screen. It is a nice software. You can test it from techsmith website. @Doug: You are welcome :) @Robert: My mistake, I meant version earlier than excel 2003. @Michael: yeah, they are called as Lists. Press, Ctrl+L to create one. @Peter H: Very cool tip about the charts and data tables.

However, in a basic form this functionality already existed in Excel 2003 as a 'List' (ctrl-L). So it not needed to convert the table back to a normal range for excel 2003 users. Nice post!
