[nfbcs] Pivot tables with JAWS 18

[Glen Gordon]

Daniel,

Assuming you're running Office 365 and the version of Excel that ships with it, the various controls for creating/manipulating the columns of the table are accessible.
I'm not a pivot table expert but if you're tenatious you should be able to get things done.

I mention Office 365 in particular because Microsoft has made substantial accessibility improvements across the suite since the original Office 2016 release. These are only available in the O365 version.
If you don't already have Office 365, I think you can get a free trial for a month and you'll be able to play with pivit tables yourself before applying.

Hi Bryan,
Thanks for responding.  It will be accounting data; most likely raw transaction data.  It's in regard to a potential job, and one of the requirements is familiarity with pivot tables.  I'm assuming the pivot tables will be for presentation purposes, as well as a means for narrowing down sub-sections of data.
I know I could get the same results with filtering the data; just in a different format.  I was just curious if there was an accessible way to utilize the pivot table.
Daniel
