Hey, Learn Excel from  MrExcel Podcast Episode 2387.  Easily Rearrange a Pivot Table.
Hey, the big day is here.  If you played the Rocket  Mortgage Super Bowl Squares.  The numbers are out.
So I wanted to rearrange my pivot table here.  Boy, it is super easy.
Check this out.  They published a heat map ...
but this is on their Twitter account ...  of where people chose.
And I was careful.  I was super careful when I chose  my square to use =RANDBETWEEN(0,9).  That way I would just choose randomly,  not where people psychologically choose.  I chose right out here, which is beautiful.
No one else chose out there.  Unfortunately, bad draw, 5-5, which  as we talked about the other day,   will have no chance of winning.
No one's ever been 35-35 in a Super Bowl before.  Hey, but MrsExcel, oh, she has a good square.
She has 3 for Kansas City, 0 for Tampa Bay,   and lots of ways that could happen.
Unfortunately she's right there in the center.  Where if that comes up, then she's against  all those other people who drew it.  All right, but I want to take my numbers here.
By the way, I updated this.  The data that I downloaded, it wasn't  consistently AFC first and then NFC.  It was all mixed up, so I fixed that, so  NFC across the top, AFC down the side.  I want to make my numbers look like these numbers.
This shocks me every time I do it.  I just want to remind you that  you have a pivot table here.  That first column is 0, and  that second column is 1.  We have 3.9 in the top left-hand  corner, 1.7 in the next corner.  This would never work in regular Excel,  but it works beautifully in a pivot table.  I'm going to type a 1 there, and when I press  Enter, all of the numbers from the 1 column,   they'll jump over to that column.
Isn't that freaking awesome?  I thought this was going to be really hard to  rearrange this, but then I remembered this trick.  I just have to type the numbers in the  order that they are in the graphic, 2-8-5,   and then 7-5-2-4-3-9, 8-1-6-0, and there's  the chances of winning and the heat map.  Now, hey, downstairs, that's MrsExcel.
We're making Kansas City barbecue sliders   and Ybor City from Tampa Cuban sandwiches.
I know because of the pandemic, no one's   going to be having the big Super Bowl  party, so let's have some fun together.  If you happen to watch this video before the  game starts and you played Super Bowl Squares,   down in the comments below, tell me what  your favorite square is, the best square   that you actually have that you're trying to  win tonight, and you're up against all kinds   of other people for the 50,000 or the 500,000.
If you put a comment down below and your number   comes up, I'll give you a free copy of my new  book, MrExcel 2021, which will be out later this   week, so go ahead down there.
Good luck.  Have a great game.
Enjoy it.
