# Create Pivot Tables

When selecting a channel for a marketing campaign, a powerful function Gigasheet offers is the ability to create easily understandable pivot tables in just a few clicks. 

Pivot tables are powerful, interactive tables that can easily summarize large data sets and easily explore insights. As a marketer, this can be a useful tool to understand your target audience and find the perfect channel, duration of the campaign, and campaign type. 

The key metrics include ROI, engagement scores, conversion rates, and clicks. You can select your marketing channel based on your target audience using these metrics. You can also identify the duration of your campaign and the campaign type, keeping in mind your audience and customer segment. Let's create a pivot table to determine the best marketing channels. 

First, start with a pivot table to identify the best marketing channel for a specific target audience using ROI. 

To create a pivot table, click on Group. In the dialogue box, Group by > Target Audience and Then by > Channel Used. 

Gigasheet will now display all the unique entries in the target audience and all the channels used under each category. 

Now, to turn this sheet into a pivot. Go to the sidebar, click on Columns, and use the toggle button to turn Pivot Mode on. Now, you can choose which values/columns to see and customize the aggregators based on your requirements. 

We will drag and drop the ROI column into the values section for the pivot table we are creating and select averages as the aggregator. 

Similarly, we can drag and drop other metrics to deepen our understanding of various channels and their effectiveness on different audiences. Here, we have added the conversion rate metric to the values section. 

# Sort to find the perfect channel

Now, all that is left is to identify the best channel. You can use the Sort function to arrange the ROI or conversion rate from highest to lowest to find the best channel for each target audience. The channel with the highest ROI under each target audience category would be the best. 

Based on our dataset here, for the target audience "Men 25-34", Facebook is the best channel to use according to ROI metrics. 

# Visualize your results

To visualize your findings for a marketing campaign analysis report, you can create charts by selecting the rows and columns you want to use and then clicking on Chart Data. You can choose from different charts, including bar, line, pie, and scatter plot charts.
