# Aggregate and Pivot[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/resources/excel-to-dss/aggregate-and-pivot.html#aggregate-and-pivot "Permalink to this headline")

In Excel you can use pivot tables to compute aggregated column statistics.

In Dataiku DSS, to produce a dataset equivalent to an Excel pivot table, use the **Pivot recipe**.

The **Group Recipe** can also produce aggregated statistics, but no columns are pivoted. Think of it as creating an Excel pivot table without specifying any Column fields.
