Summary


In this chapter, you looked at pivoting. You saw how easy it is to change a crosstab worksheet's layout with the help of the drag-and-drop feature of Discoverer Plus. The ability to pivot through data enables you to explore data relationships more efficiently, thus allowing for more effective analysis.

Continuing with the topic of reorganizing worksheet data for effective analysis, the next chapter will cover how you might drill data up and down.
