Pivot tables are a built-in interactive function of Microsoft Excel. They enable users to quickly construct cross-tabulations of choice from predefined data sets.
You can rotate columns or rows to see different summaries of the source data and apply filters. A number of Excel spreadsheets are available for downloading in compressed zip files. They provide for cross-tabulations of a number of socio-demographic and course variables to provide information on total enrolments, load, completions, students and staff. Information from recent years is available.
