Default MS Excel - How can I summarize a table? Will Pivot Table Reports do this for me?

Highlight ALL the date you want to put into Excel. Go to Edit at top and
press copy. Then open Excel and when the page is open go to Edit and paste.
THEN
highlight the TOP row (I've found it works best when you do only one column
at a time) A[Your Title for the column here] B[col title] etc. Highlight
A then
go to Format and select AUTOMATIC FIT. Do this procedure for each column.
Then go to file SAVE AS.... give it a name... and there you are. If you
want lines in it
you will have to check the page set up and go to the tab after
headers/footers ... I've forgotten right off... but there's a place to check
if you want graph style line. Put a check in it. Exit SAVE then press
File /Print Setup to see if it is
the way you want it. If not, press File/Page Setup and change it to the way
you want it. HTH
