Pivot Table. I have a large data set and have used a pivot table to summarise the COUNT of each row (Objects) for each Column Name (that is, I did what Pivot Tables do).
What I'd like to do in a new column is show a string of all the column names per row name.
I have a data set that looks like this:
Sheet3
A
B
C
1
Object
Description
Class
[Code]...
So I can pivot table to work with other analysis, but what I'd really like to get is a list of unique "Objects" (easy) with all the related "Class"es listed in column (or straight to concatenated). I can concatenate using Chip Pearson's StringConcat.
Here is an example:
Sheet3
F
G
H
I
J
K
1
Object
Countif
[Code]..
You can see Chip's Function in col K. What I'd like to happen is in Cols H to J be automatically populated. (For this example, I have typed in what I'd like the result to look like)
I considered using Vlookups (with helper column for 2nd & successive instances), INDEX/MATCH with SMALL to get 2nd+ instances and even lengthy IF statements. The main problem with IF is that in the real data set, I can have over 30 Classes.
I looked at Pivot table to see what I could do but haven't much experience in manipulating past regular feature.
I also took a cut&paste of the pivot table (as shown in part below) to see what I could do.
Here is a clip straight from the Pivot Table:
Pivot
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
[Code]..
And one from the cut&paste of the pivot table, which also shows the desired outcome in the right hand column:
Sheet2
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
[Code]...
I would also be fine using VBA, but its been a while since I did any basic coding so I wouldn't really stand a chance of starting from scratch.
I have a pivot table that summarizes jobs that need to be completed on a specified date. I need to put that information on a calendar, but I would like to concatenate all information from that date so I can do a vlookup from the calendar. My other problem is that the number of cells change for each date, so I cannot specify exact cells, (some only have 1 entry, but others may have 4 or more). Can I specify a range of cells based on the result of the pivot table?
I have attached the pivot table, calendar and the data sheet with the vlookup info. Am I using the proper calendar or method to find this info?I have struggled with this for over a week now.
When I make a pivot table I wanted to know why it is showing duplicate names. Here is an example workbook below. It should group all the same names together. However it isn't doing so. Anyway around this problem?
I am running into an error when creating a macro to make a pivot table and sum certain columns. I am fairly certain this is due to the name changing to PivotTable2, 3, 4, etc. each time. Is there a way to make the name stagnent so when a table is created in the macro it doesn't error out the formulas? I have an example below.
Using Pivot Table, I added a field to the "Values" field in order to give me a sum of the numbers. The title automatically changes to "Total", I am needing it to show "Total Invoice to OOM Delta". Is there a way to do this? I tried the Active Field option, but that's not working for some reason.
I am having a problem with Excel Pivot Tables using 'old' field names for new data that has replaced older data. i.e. i will type over data in a column but on the drop down menu's the old 'names' still appear but the new ones to not'
I have had an extensive search and am familiar with (and use) the 'clear old items' macro. Whilst this macro does work it is not helping me as the items in my drop downs do not need to be cleared but their names changed to my new data. The only way i can seem to get round this is to delete and re-create the pivot table from strach - very time consuming.
I have created a pivot table using a family name in row labels. The names appear in alphabetical order unless the person's name is the same as a month or day of the week. The result is that I have Mr Sun and Mr May at the top of my list, rather than listed alphabetically. Sorting the list does not solve the problem. It switches Mr Sun and Mr May, but does not included them in the main list. Is there a setting I can use that will stop Excel 2007 thinking that these words are something that they are not?
I have excel 2007. My data sheet has columns for the sales for May 2009 and the sales for May 2008. Next to it is a column for the % growth between the 2 periods. When I put all this info into a pivot table and add the formula as below to the pivot table it shows the correct values for all the individual customers but not for the Grand Total line. Here it just shows a zero.
Can you also help so that the names on the data side of the Pivot table is the same as on your original sheet where it is reading the info from, and doesn't say "Sum of May 2009, but only says "May 2009".
Please show how you would work out the % Growth between the two different columns, as I tried it, and on the individual cell the data is correct but on the grand total line it shows it as zero and does not apply the formula.
I've read a lot of tutorials on how to use pivot tables, but found them either too basic, or too advanced, and never finding any example of what I am looking to do.
I have a database, column A holds names, and column B their phone numbers. I'd like to generate a list of unique names and their associated telephone numbers. I figure I can use a pivot table to do this.
But I do not quite understand how to format the pivot table to put the name in one column and the phone number in the next. I will use this pivot table as a vlookup range. I assume I can do this.
I have an issue with a Pivot table: I am using the 'show report filter pages' function and prior to this I have ensured my character length of that field is equal or less than 31 however when I hit the function the tab names are shortened to 26.
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.
There is pivot table for some reason the last column (YEAccts), which sums all the other columns values is exluding the 1st column for some reason. This "YEAccts" shows up fine in the pivot table "field list". And I followed the source for this and it's a table in a different tab that pulls data from an access query connection.
The name of the column that is summing up the rest of the columns is "YEAccts", but for the life of me I can't seem to find where this column is in the source table tab or even in the access query where the data is being pulled from.
How to find this "YEAccts" column? Also, why would it exclude not summing up the data in the first column?
I am trying to figure how to show in one pivot table a current column and a proposed column. I have 15k rows of data. My data columns are employee, month, task, hours, proposed month. I can get a table that has months as columns and tasks as rows with sum of hours. What I would like to do is incorporate the proposed month, so that it shows hours in the months by current and proposed. That way my result would be January current, January proposed columns etc. I can change the propsed months by formulae so I want to play with the proposed task month the refresh the pivot table to see the results.
- a list of data - a pivottable based on these data
When moving this worksheet this worksheet to another workbook, the pivot table can't refresh anymore. This throws an error message "Reference is not valid". To work around this problem I need to adapt the datasource. The same occurs if the list and the pivot table are on separate sheet, with the added strange behaviour that, when data an PT are split, it is not possible to move both sheet together.
This would not be a big issue if my problem had to be solved manually. The real problem is that I need to move the sheets from a C# program.
my table has the following fields: Zone (north, East, west, south), depots in each zone (D101, D102 in North and D201, D202 in South),product code (S101, S102...S100) then sales data for three stores 1, 2, 3.
My original table has the depot code, zone it belongs to and sales of each of the product made to each of the store per depot.
In the Pivot table, I shall need to show Branch and the Product codes on the row-side, and require store codes 1,2,3 to appear on the columns. The data area thus needs to be a summation of D101, D102 for North (for each of the product-codes) and D201, D202 for the South region.
I have a pivot table with slicers to easily filter the data. I need to add a column with editable, free text that is filtered along when using the slicers.
If I try adding a column in my data source of the pivot and I change one value in the pivot then all rows that have this value change along.
I often use pivot tables to summarize accounting data. I wish to summarize the data by account number, but also wish to display the account description next to each account number. Both the account number and account description are separate columns in my original table of data.
I've always managed to do this by the use of lookup formulas after the formation of the pivot table in a column outside the pivot table, but it would be preferable to have those descriptions as part of the table.
If I designate both the account number and account description as row labels, they land on two different lines.
I am new to working with Pivot tables, and am working on a data set of survey results. We'd like to build a heat chart into the pivot tables for each column of data. To do this, I need to determine what the maximum and minimum values in each column are, and base the cell coloring on the difference between min and max values by quartile. Ideally, this would be able to update when the column headers change (from a list of departments, to countries for instance).
I feel stupid asking this, but for some reason I am having trouble keeping alignment of columns in a Pivot Table....
I have a Column of text in a pivot table and I am just trying to center the darn thing... but no matter what I have tried, when I refresh the table it goes back to left-aligned....
I have Preserve Formatting set on... in the Table Options.
I want to include columns in my Pivot Table where there is no data for that column. For example, I want to show 12 columns, one for each month, but my data only has 9 months of values.
I'm looking for a formula that utilizes an "if/then" condition. I'm attaching a sample workbook of what I'm dealing with. I need it to end up so that column "E" holds: if a equals c, then e = b, "and", d, c Does that make sense? I manually entered my desired end result into column E in the sample workbook.
I want to "calculate" a worksheet name by concatenating 2 cells. Then based on this concatenated word perform a " lookup". Basically I have a form for people to fill in and want to extract their answers automatically.
I'm trying to write a macro that will create a pivot table, and am getting an Error code 1004: Cannot Open Pivot Table Source File "Sheetname". My code is below. I've tried to note what each section does, and it all seems to work well except for the Pivot Table creation.
I have a worksheet with two pivot tables, one of which is visible to the user. Ideally, the user should be able to change the "Row Label" field settings of the visible pivot table and then press an "update button" that then adds the same field to the second pivot table.
Ideally, the ordering of the fields should also be made similar between the two tables, though this is of less priority.
I imagine it would be something in the style of:
"If number of Pivot1 active row label fields = X then Pivot 2.AddRowLabelField = Pivot1.RowLabelField(X) end if"
attached is a spreadsheet 6 people in my area use daily(ive copied and pasted the sheet in question to a new worksheet, as the file was too big). Ive been trying for about 3 days now to make a pivot table to summarise this data.
I have a report that has percentage of row totals that just displays as 100% for the grand total column. I want to hide that percentage of row column. I've attached the excel file below to see the pivot tables.
