If want to see how your booking channels are performing, this tutorial will explain how to generate a PivotTable on Excel that contains the following information for the dates you selected in your report:
- Total revenue.
- Average revenue per booking.
- Average daily rate per booking.
- Average amount of nights.
- Average adult occupancy per booking.
Create the PivotTable
Generate the Booking Summary report. Our tutorial 'How to generate a report' will guide you if you need help with this.
- Click on a cell (only 1) that has text in it
- Select the 'Insert' tab.
- Select 'PivotTable'.
- Click on 'OK' on the pop-up window.
Edit the table contents
- Search or scroll to find 'Source'
Once found: - Click & hold 'Source'
- Drag & drop it into the 'Rows' block below.
- Search or scroll to find 'Revenue'
Once found: - Click & hold 'Revenue'
- Drag & drop it into the 'Values' block below.
- Repeat the steps above and drag 'Revenue' to the 'Values' block for a second time.
This will create a 'Sum of Revenue2' field.
This is what you should see:
- Click on the drop-down menu to the right of 'Sum of Revenue2'
- Select 'Value Field Settings' from the list
The Value Field Settings window will open.
- Select 'Average' from the available list
- Click on 'OK'.
You should now see that 'Sum of Revenue2' has changed to 'Average of Revenue2'.
You can now follow the same steps for:
- 'Avg rate'
- 'Nights', and
- 'Adults'
to change these Values fields get the average.
Once done, highlight the fields with numbers on the PivotTable, and format the cells to a number format. Video guidance on how to format numbers in cells on Microsoft Excel
