You can use the Conditional Formatting tool to change a cells colour if the value is equal to a specified value.
Just go to the Home tab > Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cell Rules > Equal To.

Finally select a colour that you want the cell(s) to change to.
If you want to sort a data field that you have placed into the Columns Area, then click on the Column Labels dropdown on your PivotTable and choose the sorting option that applies to how you want to sort that field.

If you want to hide an excel window whilst you’re working on another task, then you can use the Hide tool. This will hide the window and your formulas will still be able to reference the hidden sheet.
To hide a window, go to the View tab and select Hide on the Ribbon. This will then hide the window.
If you struggle with converting data from one unit to another, then why not let Excel’s Convert formula do it for you.
To use it, type in the function =CONVERT( , type in the number you want to convert, choose the unit you want to convert the number from and then choose the unit you want to convert the number to.
For example, if I want to see how much 1000g would be in pounds (mass), then I would type =CONVERT(1000,”g”,”lbm”).
If you want to make text, such as headers, take up less room in your spreadsheet, then use the orientation tool. This will allow you to view more columns at a time.
