What's new in Microsoft Excel

Improved Recommended PivotTables experience

Recommended PivotTables are now more intelligent and easier to use! The dialog box interface has been replaced by a redesigned panel, making it easier to view all of your options and simpler to change your data selection before inserting a recommended PivotTable. To access the feature, open a workbook containing data and select Insert > Recommended PivotTables. Review the recommendations and insert the one you want into your workbook.
