Monthly Trend Dashboard Notes

Download as a pivot table

The two new Monthly Trend reports display as pivot tables. A pivot

table is a report format that allows you to reorganize and summarize

selected columns and rows of data in a spreadsheet.

To maintain the format of the Purchase Summary by Division and

Purchase Detail by Division when downloading, you must select one

of the Excel options.

If you select “Data”, the raw data files will download without the pivot

table formatting.
