Summary  
This chapter covers how to pivot structured datasets to dynamically aggregate and summarize data into concise tables and how to add interactive filters (slicers) for customized views.  

General domain of usage  
Data analysis

**PivotTables** are one of Excel's most powerful features, enabling users to quickly and efficiently **summarize large datasets into meaningful tables**. 

They offer **dynamic arrangement of data**, allowing for easy aggregation, comparison, and analysis. 

With **slicers** and other tools, PivotTables offer **personalized views of data**, making them incredibly versatile for different analytical needs.

# Task

Now apply the skills you've learned to create a similar table, reflecting **Location** as rows, **Category** as columns, and **Quantity_Sold** as the value. 

Then, incorporate a slicer using the **Date** column, so the final display appears as follows:

With the Data slicer used in the task, how many items from all categories were sold in total on 01/01/2022?
