The power of pivot charts'n'tables...
... but what is a pivot chart or a pivot table? Why would we even want to use one?
See if you can find out, then add a comment back here with a link to the page you found (don't worry Lynne, we'll not spend more than 5-8 mins searching :-)). After finding out a bit about them, we're going to download an example file from MS and create a few Pivot Charts to see why they might be useful.

In reply to kadaeux... In your first assign, you've got a bunch of ships of different classes. If I asked you to display a bar-chart that showed how many of each type of ship you had in the yard, could you do it? give it a try!

A pivot chart is a easier way of viewing data on the spread sheet across different colums in excel which gets displayed in a pivot table which is just the representation of the data

A pivot table creates an interactive summary from many records.
A pivot chart is an interactive graphical representation of the data in a Pivot Table.
