| | PivotTable Styles have the same design goals as Table Styles, and they also have the same user model and customization story. | |
| | The only real difference between the PivotTable and Table Styles is with regards to the number of elements in a PivotTable style. | |
| | Whereas Table Styles have 13 elements (headers, row banding, total rows, etc.), PivotTable styles have 25 elements. | |
| | The additional elements are due to the fact that PivotTables are more complex than tables, so there are more table elements available for users to define formatting on. | |
| | For example, you can define formatting for multiple levels of data, there are multiple levels of subtotals possible in a
PivotTable, etc. | |
| | Excel 12 will come with a large set of predefined PivotTable styles that you can pick and choose from. | |
| | In addition, just like table styles, you can create your own styles that fit your specific needs whether that might be corporate guidelines or individual preferences. | |
| | PivotTables, however, are more complex than tables, so there are more table elements available for users to define formatting on. | |
| | For example, you can define formatting for multiple levels of subtotals, you can define striping at different levels in the PivotTable. | |
