They fill a niche between having raw data, and summarising stuff directly from your datasource.
They're easier than summarising (usually), but if there is too much data your spreadsheet will "blow up" so you have to summarise your datasource - so pivot tables usually (not always) become redundant at that point.
It's been a long time since I've used them, but my datasources usually have many tens/hundreds of thousands of records which alas break spreadsheets if used directly.

Well off out tonight.....I have decided to leave cash card at home in case I am tempted by more booze. I can't afford it both cash wise or mental state wise either! Hangovers are the pits these days, I *can't* have one tomorrow morning.
I have had to put the bl00dy heating on tonight! Not just because I am cold (I would just put a cardigan on) but the whole house felt damp & cold and I just want it to warm up and not get all musty. It'll go off at 7pm so, hopefully the gas bill won't ramp up too much!
It's atrocious though isn't it, this weather? Poor b*ggers in Midlands/South got battered now.
And the point of me buying garden furniture was.....?

I took £25 out on Friday and came back with £7 or so, so I was happy!
I now have plenty bus fare for next week so no need for any trips to the speed bank. :money:
I've been pretty good this week with any social stuff....came back every time with cash so I beat my 'pledge' for the week quite comfortably.
Not much to ramble about today....not unless you want to hear about washing & bits and bobs of housework?
No?
You do surprise me!

Taxi's right - the overdraft is looking pretty good for such a late date in the month, hopefully no major expenses this week?
Did I read on the "what small thing" thread that you had a job interview? If so, how did it go? If I have made it all up, just ignore me!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.
