Do you use Excel or Access in pivot tables?
Pivot Tables are used in Excel. Access has a type of query known as a Crosstab Query, which works in a similar way. If your data is mainly numeric, then you use Excel. Non-numeric data is more suited to Access. So if you have the names, genders and departments of employees and wanted to find out how many males and females are in each department, then that would be good for Access. If you had a load of sales in different regions listed with their dates and wanted to find the total sales in each month for each region, then Excel would be better.
