Our dataset consists of information about buyers that a company has gathered to determine its target customers. The data includes the customer ID along with their gender, age, income, marital status, and purchase amount. To better understand this data, we want to create a pivot table with multiple columns. To create a pivot table we will first select our data and then use the Pivot table option.
Creating a pivot table with multiple columns means using more than one column to group and summarize data in a pivot table. The overall importance of creating a pivot table with multiple columns is that it allows you to quickly and easily analyze large amounts of data and draw meaningful insights from it. By grouping and summarizing data in different ways, you can identify trends, patterns, and relationships that might not be immediately apparent from the raw data.
