Is there a good source for finding out about pivot tables?

[Paul Gower]

Hi,
I have been using Excel for many years but have never used the pivot table
function.
At a recent meeting, someone suggested using one as a way to "manipulate"
large amounts of spreadsheet-based sales data. I must say that I had no idea
what they were talking about.

Any ideas where to go on the web to find out more?

Look forward to hearing any ideas or suggestions from anyone.
Many thanks,
Paul

In addition to the "start" section of Jon Peltier's website, he has a page
of links for pivot table-related stuff There are something like 10 other
websites plus the MS Knowledgebase:
