Don't worry, basic pivot tables aren't super challenging. You might be able to catch on using the help function. If not, try searching LinkedIn learning. There are a lot of results for that search term.

The wizard within excel has helped me with pivot tables but still haate em. As a general rule I put whatever I’m trying to bucket in the lower left hand box and the items I’m counting in the lower right hand box. Depending on what you’re doing that may or may not make sense for your situation

LinkedIn learning and YouTube help. But the best is to play with an actual pivot of data that's relevant to your position. Just drag and drop options into filters, rows, columns, and values just to see what charts that makes. Most often you're going to have spend in values and time in the columns. Use Google and YouTube for specific how tos as you go.

How can I add multiple characteristics within one cell and make sure that a pivot table can read both values independently if needed? E.g., I have a column titled “color” and in one cell I write “red” and the other “red, blue”. I’d like a pivot table / formula to be able to count that there are technically two “reds” in this data set. Any tips?
