Excel 2003
Is there any way to remove the 225 characters per call limit in pivot tables? Pivot tables do not allow validation but I need to pivot "Description" cells with a lot of text.
Or, is there a better way to manipulate text data than a pivot table that I don't know about.
I copied this from Excel:
Length of cell contents (text) 32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display in a cell; all 32,767 display in the formula bar.
I have an Address Book from an old Personal Information Manager that exports the file as ASCII.
My problem is when I view the .asc file in Excel, Excel has created two rows for several entries.
That creates a problem as I wanted to select Column "A" then do Text to columns with a comma delimiter (the asc files has the comma in place)
However, since Excel put in the second line, I'll not be able to put in a header column.
When I look at the .asc file there is no way that there is more than 32,767 characters in each row. So why did Excel split it up? ....
I have a pivot table in the first sheet which includes the field "Date" as a column label.
In the remaining sheets, except for one, there are pivot tables based on the same underlying dataset which also include the field "Date" as a column label.
I would like to adjust the selection (i.e., exclude some dates) from the column label in the first sheet and see if it is possible to make the same adjustments automatically to the pivot tables in the remaining sheets as well.
note that the field "Date" is used as a Column label, i.e., it is not a Report filter.
I have a single workbook with multiple worksheets. Each worksheet has a different pivot table displaying a different view of the data. Each pivot table uses the same source data at worksheet1.
Each week i add new data to the end of the source data, which means that I need change the source data reference separately in each pivot table to update each pivot table view to include the new data. This is laborious as there are quite a few pivot tables.
Was wondering if there is some way of changing the pivot table source data reference on all pivot tables at the same time.
I currently have several pivot table that's linked to a single pivot table(let's call it X) in the same workbook. I'm doing this to limit the file size because the data in X comes from a text file that has millions of lines. However, it's such a pain every time I need to update the tables because simply clicking "refresh" does not update those tables that are linked to X with new data. I would have to instruct the wizard in every linked table to point to X every time. I'm trying to write a small program to re-point to X for each of those other pivot tables whenever i refresh data. However, after trying to record the steps to do this I'm still unable to run these

I have 12 months worth of data in twelve separate workbooks each with a pivot table, I have copy/moved the pivot table tab from each into one workbook so now I have a workbook that consists of 12 tabs each with a pivot table. What I would like to be able to do is create a summary table with the full years data; where I am running into problems is that each months table has slightly different row and column counts and labels making any formula like =sum([sheet 1 cell a1]+[sheet 2 cell a1]) problematic.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got 4 pivot tables (all derived from the same base data) on 4 separate worksheets. I've been able to (with this help of this site) to use VBA to hide pivot items on all of these sheets using a list on a user form. Hide/Show Pivot Table Field Items.

I now need to be able to show all the pivot items on only 3 of the 4 pivot tables, with the 4th pivot table being left untouched. For ease assume that my sheets are sheet1, sheet2, sheet3, and sheet4. The tables I wish to update are on sheet2, sheet3 and sheet4. The pivot table on each sheet is called "PivotTable4" and the pivot item is called "Business". The pivot item contains 12 business names (Business1, Business2 etc etc)
Is there an easy way of doing this? I've spent the day looking through the internet and various "Dummies" books but with little success, I fear that I'm obviously below even Dummy level

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with printing a worksheet with a pivot table. When refreshing the table, depending on the filter choices, the table length with expand and contract. When the pivot table contracts, it leaves a light blue shaded area. If you try to print the worksheet it includes the blue section. Is there a print macro that can be written that will only print the sections with values or perhaps a print setting that would exclude the shaded area?

I did have a reinstall of Office last week but can't see how that would have impacted this. Otherwise, I only use the pivot table command to 'refresh all'.
I know very little about them and didn't create this workbook.
I do add entries to the source data and have tried to change source data but I get Reference is not valid.
When I run pivot tables, the row label descriptions are only displayed at the highest level for each category. As displayed below the highest level on the row label is MOB and is only detailed in the first row. I need for each of the different row label levels to display the data so there are no blank cells.

All I want to do is write some vba script that inserts a pivot table based on all of the data in my current workbook.
Therefore I want something incredibly simple if it exists like:
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceData:= ActiveWorksheet.Select.AllData)
ie the vba code that just takes the data you've got in your current worksheet and creates a pivot table.
I have four sheets with a lot of pivot tables on each and my problem is that whenever I hit Refresh the formatting of the pivot tables is always changing. It seems that this is something of an issue in Excel 2010 and that they only way to truly get around it is to re-format the pivot tables upon refresh with VBA code.
Any resource or thread I can use to learn the commands to format the pivot tables?
I am getting better with VBA code but seems to always get stuck on trying new things because I do not know the commands.
I'm trying to sync a common field in two different pivot tables.
I have 2 pivot tables on a single worksheet.
Each table has its own data source - 2 different databases (had to set it up that way to present all the data requested).
The 2 data sources have one column of data in common. This column is called Projects and all project names are the same in both databases.
BUT...
Pivot Table 1: Projects is in the ROW area (multi-select dropdown)
Pivot Table 2: Projects is in the PAGE area (single select drop-down)
I would like to link the Projects data items so that when I select a project name in the Combo box, the same project name would seamlessly be selected in both tables.
Each table would populate with its own data based on the project selected.
Basically, I'd like to use the method illustrated in this Flash file:
[url]
This method would have worked beautifully if it weren't for this reason:
Table 1: Project data is in the PAGE field
(single selection)
Table 2: Project data is in the ROW field (multi-selection)
If the Projects data was in the PAGE field in both tables, my code would look like this:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Table 1").PivotFields("Project").CurrentPage = _ActiveSheet.Range("X1").Value
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Table 2").PivotFields("Project").CurrentPage = _ActiveSheet.Range("X1").Value
But no, because the ROW field is a multi-select one, I get this kind of
I have several pivot tables that need to be re-linked to an Access database (really change the link to a different month's data). Currently, I do this manually, but I was hoping to write a macro to do this. Data is saved by month so I can't just create a "current" file as to not change the links each time. I can only get code to work for the refresh portion.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am working with VBA to create a pivot table, and have done just fine so far. However, I need to create a two buttons that will run the following macros: 1. A macro that will remove the selected header (either row or column) from the pivot table.
2. A macro that will put the removed header back into the pivot table.
I need to be able to click on the header (whether its the row or column header) and then press the button to remove it from the table. The second button should then add that header back into the table. My code for creating the table is fine, I just need to work out the buttons. Below is what I have so far. I was think that if I had variable for the header name it would be able to tell which header to remove (so I used Set iField = ActiveCell.Value), I also tried ActiveCell.Text. All I need to do is put the text in the selected field into the PivotFields range to make it hidden. However, I keep getting an error (Compile Error: Object Required) on the line Set iField = ActiveCell.Value. Below is my current code.

I wonder if it is possible to make calculations between two pivot tables which have the same number of columns and rows and put the outcomes in a third pivot. For example Pivot 1 contains revenue data, Pivot 2 contains cost data and Pivot 3 provides the calculated outcome of revenues minus costs.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI read in your "best Practice..." sticked above that it's better to use Pivot tables then multiplied criteria SUMPRODUCTs (or array formulas). i agreed with it because i found it took long time to recalculate the sheet. do you suggest it refering the new SUMIFS formula?. i found that a SUMIFS that refers to Tables can be replacement for GETPIVOTDATA. In my sheet there are several dozens of GETPIVOTDATA.

I have problems in linking my date picker to the pivot tables
For example: I have 6 pivot tables, all of it has date fields, and then I have a button that will show date picker to select start and end date. After I selected dates, I want to auto-filter the pivot tables using that selected dates.
