Pivot chart

A pivot chart is a data analysis tool that enables one to visualize a pivot table. It is a built-in feature of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access. The single word PivotChart is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

Overview

Pivot chart for Microsoft Excel

  • You can easily copy and paste a pivot chart within Excel or among other Microsoft Office software.

Pivot chart for Microsoft Access

  • Microsoft Access can create "multi plots" from a shared dataset. For example, if you have a table of students' student id, math score and gender, you can create a page of multiple charts where two charts (student id/math score) are generated for female and male students side by side. This function is not supported by Microsoft Excel.
  • You cannot copy and paste pivot charts in Microsoft Access.
