There is a new feature in Excel 2013, that makes it even easier to get started with pivot tables.
Just select a cell in your source data table, and on the Ribbon’s Insert tab, click Recommended PivotTables.

A window opens, and you can see a list of suggested pivot table layouts, based on your data.

Click on any layout, to see a larger view of it, and when you select one that you want to use, click the OK button.
Your pivot table is created on a new worksheet, and you can leave it as is, or make changes to it.
