Kääntötaulukko

Kääntötaulukko is a Finnish term that translates to "pivot table" in English. It is a data summarization tool found in spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc. A pivot table allows users to reorganize and summarize large amounts of data from a table or database into a more manageable and understandable format.

The core functionality of a kääntötaulukko is to allow users to group data by different categories, perform calculations (such as sums, averages, counts, and maximums) on these groups, and present the results in a cross-tabulated report. Users can drag and drop fields into different areas of the pivot table, such as rows, columns, values, and filters, to dynamically change how the data is displayed and analyzed. This flexibility makes it an invaluable tool for business analysis, financial reporting, and data exploration. By restructuring data, a kääntötaulukko can quickly reveal trends, patterns, and insights that might be hidden in raw data.
