This resource has been developed as a practice Exercise for learners who have been introduced to Pivot Tables in Excel.
It is a practical task that can be undertaken in teams, pairs or individually. It includes a set of data that needs to be analysed. Learners are required to brainstorm questions that a Sales Manager would need to know about the transactional data. They then create pivot tables based on the questions.
There is a second spreadsheet that contains 8 sample questions and pivot tables that relate to the questions.
This activity has been well received in my classroom of adult learners. They become very engaged in the process and develop a better understanding of the use of pivot tables.
This resource can be used during a lesson with Excel Charts. It is useful to become familiar with different chart types and their application. The activities can be carried out individually, in pairs or in teams. It is always more fun to team up, as two heads are better than one and lots of discussion can be generated.
Files are available in both pdf and docx format for editing if required.
Preparation for Mix N Match Activity:
Print out the document named ‘Chart Type Activity Answers’
Laminate the sheets (optional)
Cut out all the segments
Learners now match up all three elements (Chart name, Description, Picture). This activity can be timed and completed in teams to add a competitive edge.
Other Activity Options:
Print out the document named ‘Chart Type Activity without Chart Type’. Learners will review the description and the pictorial view and name the Chart Type.
Print out the document named ‘Chart Type Activity without Description’. Hand out the cut outs of ‘Descriptions’. Learners place them in the appropriate slot.
Print out the document names ‘Chart Type Activity without Picture’. Hand out the cut outs of ‘Pictures’. Learners place them in the appropriate slot.

Tips for improving handwriting
I often hear people say that they hate their handwriting, or that no one can read it. It is such an important part of communication. Even with email and the internet being a big part of written communication you cannot replace the benefit of a hand written note or message on a card. Not to mention that many workplace forms still need to be filled out manually and it is so important that the writing is clear.
I have used this in my workplace training sessions and learners have enjoyed it and noticed improvements within 10 days of practice. I wanted to get away from all the babyish resources that are just not appropriate to teach adults with.
I hope you enjoy this.
