Abstract :
The Excel pivot table function (EPT) used for multidimensional data analysis (MDA) should be considered as a research decision support system (DSS) so that its value as a research tool can be better realized. This paper provides some theoretical clarification on this supportive view. In addition, it provides an illustration on how this is done with a EPT application on a data file on a 2015 questionnaire survey conducted by the writer with regard to the topic of perceptions on homelessness in Hong Kong. The aim is to encourage the academic community in the Research Methods field to study it as a useful research method topic.
