Create a pivot table in Numbers on Mac
A pivot table can be created from a table or range of cells in a spreadsheet; the data used in those cells is your source data. The source data must contain at least one populated, nonheader cell, and can’t contain cells merged across adjacent rows. If you create a pivot table from a range of cells, you can edit the range later.
