This article needs more context around or a better explanation of technical details to make it more accessible to general readers and technical readers outside the specialty, without removing technical details. See below for more information.


Seriously, after reading this article, I still don't have the faintest idea what a pivot table is, and I'm a technical user with over a decade of programming experience. Perhaps the article could be adjusted to contain a little more discussion of what pivot tables are, and a little less hype about how awesomely powerful they are? 81.179.177.38 13:23, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] okay 81.179 et. al. how's this?

I've edited this article to simplify the explanation without removing any technical details. Caltrop 01:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This article is being too specific.

I think that this article is being too specific to Microsoft Excel. Pivot Tables can also be associated to data warehousing and DBMS terminologies. This article does not explain much about pivot tables in general. So, some generalization is required.
