Data summarized in a PivotTable is an ideal candidate
for a chart, since the table itself represents an overwhelming amount
of data. A chart of a PivotTable is called a PivotChart.
Once you select data within the PivotTable, you can chart it like any
other worksheet data using similar tabs under PivotChart Tools. You can
also use the AutoFilter menu to filter data directly in the PivotChart
report (New!), just like in a table. The additional Analyze tab provides options to collapse or expand fields, insert a slicer (New!), refresh or clear data, and show or hide the Field List and different Field Buttons (New!) on a PivotChart.
