How to use Pivot Tables in Excel

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Here is an ‘oldie but a goodie’ from our original site that we’ve had people ask for often. This is more relevant for Microsoft Office 2003. These can be used nicely with all our ERP packages including:

Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision)
Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta)
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains)
Microsoft Dynamics SL (Solomon)
Sage MAS90, MAS200, MAS500 (MAS 90, MAS 200, MAS 500)
SAP Business One

PivotTable Reports 101

Let’s suppose you’ve compiled a large list of data – for example, sales figures for every product your company makes. But now you’re ready to distill some meaningful information from the data. For example, you might want to answer the following questions:

· What is the total sales for each product by region?

· Which products are selling best over time?

· Who is your highest-performing salesperson?

For these and other questions, you can create a PivotTable^® report – an interactive table that automatically extracts, organizes, and summarizes your data. You can then use the report to analyze the data – for example, make comparisons, detect patterns and relationships, and analyze trends.

Read on to discover what you can do with a PivotTable report.

Windows 7 Upgrade for Free?? Yes it’s Possible.

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Yes, it is possible to essentially get the Windows 7 upgrade for free. You can now buy a ‘pre-order’ upgrade of Windows 7 premium for less than half price at for $49.99. When the deal expires it will cost $119.

The trick is this, just buy two copies now. Then when it starts shipping (October 22, 2009), sell your extra copy on ebay, craigs list or whatever. Of course you can’t sell it for the $119 list, but sure you could get $100 bucks. Right now, upgrade copies of Vista go for $100 on ebay, so surely you can get the same soon after the product is released.

About your only cost is the time value of the extra $50.

Ok, you can call me a cheapskate now..

Social Networking Pitfalls – Stay out of trouble

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Social networking is the hottest subject area on the internet right now. Currently the most popular site for this by far is Facebook. A similar site, but one that is much more business oriented is LinkedIn.

Some sub-topics of social networking include the red-hot Twitter.

Sites like Facebook and LinkedIn can be used to help promote business. Most of them are well positioned within the search engines so topics you may write about will often have higher rankings than on your own website.

The general concept around Social Networking is that you create a mini-website usually consisting of your background, photos you want to share, sometimes what you are currently doing, and then threaded conversations with your ‘friends’ or colleagues.

TechRepublic has a good article on how to be careful however. See below. My opinion is you simply should just not mix a personal account and business account. Or better yet, use LinkedIn for your business networking and Facebook for your personal. If you want Facebook for both, simply setup two different accounts. As the article states, friendly conversations among your friends may very well offend a prospective customer or employer.
