, Instructions on what is needed in the spreadsheet and how to create your pivot table and chart –
Hope this helps
• Download the Estimates_of_Emergency_Dept and save it to your laptop/desktop
o KeyPoints
▪ Leave the main ED estimates as your main tap (reason why I had to resubmit a
2nd time)
▪ Add filters by highlighting your sections (A-L), from the toolbar click “Sort &
Filter. This gives you the dropdown options next to each data row
▪ For each pivot table I renamed the Measure to either Primary diagnosis or Most
common Reason for visit
• Changed it back once I created the pivot table in a new tab
o KeyPoints for Pivot table chart
▪ When filtering make sure to have 2016-2021 checked
▪ Filter “Measure Type” by primary diagnosis
▪ For Measure (or if you changed the name to Primary Diagnosis) select all
with the exception of “All Diagnosis” (this is generalized and not needed)
▪ Group: filter by either Sex, Age, Race/ethnicity, Region, or type of
payment/insurance used (only leave what you need checked)
▪ Filter your subgroups (or if you renamed this by whatever you chose to focus
on): either by gender, age group, insurance, or region
▪ Estimate Type: filter by Visit Count (filter and unselect rate)
▪ Estimate: (I changed it to Visit Count)
• Make sure to unselect any blanks in this column
▪ Other three columns are not needed buy you can leave it on the main ED tab
o Undo your filters and change names for your next pivot table
o Once Pivot tables are complete, I changed the names back on the main Estimates of
ED
o Pivot time
▪ Click on Insert
▪ Highlight your columns A-H
