Excel Video 378 introduces Timelines, a new Pivot Table feature in Excel 2013. If you’re familiar with Slicers, you’ll pick up on Timelines quickly. Slicers were new in Excel 2010. If you haven’t seen Slicers, watch Excel Videos 289-290. Timelines are a way to visually filter dates in a Pivot Table. When you change the Timeline, the Pivot Table dates change automatically. Watch the video to see how easy it is to create and use Timelines in Excel 2013.
There are some ways to customize Timelines and some gotchas to watch out for. We’ll walk through both topics in the next Excel Video. I look forward to seeing you then.
