Filtering Pivot Using Cell Value (for Select Multiple Items)
Sep 27, 2013
I'm running a pretty huge database with Part Numbers across several Suppliers which fluctuate constantly.
For example: a HEXAGONAL BOLT may have a Part Number ABC123, but depending on the size of the bolt it could be a ABC123-001 ABC123-V28 ABC123-40mm (etc)
There's a lot of data (some of it sensitive) so I don't want the users to see everything - I'm creating a front-end sheet and am looking for a way for a user to type in the Part Number "ABC123" into cell A1, then the Pivot below to auto-update (with Part Number on the 'Report Filter') to show all variations of ABC123, including ABC123-1 ABC123-2 etc - i.e. not an exact match; everything that contains the characters in cell A1.
The relevant information has been ported in and password protected on a sepearate sheet within the workbook, so it's literally a code to make the cell value affect the filter.
I'm trying to write a macro to select the multiple sets of the same data for several PIVOT tables. I've tried Slicers but it seems that this takes up too much processing power and always times out.
My workaround is to do a macro that picks out the said data, however when i do the below, plus another 4-500 lines i get told that there are too many line continuations
I'm trying to use a List Box to select multiple items on my Pivot Table but I can't seem to get it to work. Its the Report Filter part of the pivot table.
When the list Box is set to fmMultiSelectSingle it work and selects the indivdual items, but I need it set as fmMultiSelectMulti for if i'm also needed to select multiple items. (which doesn't seem to work!)
I am wanting to create a list where I can select multiple items within that list and then print only those selected items. I have created something similar thru data validation, but I can't get it to print.
In addition, I would like to be able to subdivide the list into multiple categories, then select items from these multiple categories and print them.
I am trying to use the bellow code to set one pivot item (MyItem) to true and the rest to false... unsuccesfully
Code: For Each pt In Sheets("Schedule Dashboard").PivotTables(PivotTable1) If pt.PivotFields("District").PivotItems(MyItem).Visible = False Then pt.PivotFields("District").PivotItems(MyItem).Visible = True Else pt.PivotFields("District").PivotItems.Visible = False End If Next pt
Need code that takes names of people from one excel sheet and selects the names in a pivot table field in another excel sheet. Basically I need to know the code that selects pivot items in a pivot field (say name of the pivot field is 'EmpName' and the pivot items are the names of the employees). As of now I check the name in one excel sheet then manually select the name from the 'Emp Name pivot field in the pivot table. There are many names and manually selkecting one by one is very time consuming hence I am trying to automate this.
is there any way to NOT Displaying Items with No Data when filtering data in my pivot table?
For instance, I have 2 report filters: Category and Subcategory, when I select a category in the first filter I want to see only the options of subcategories with data in the second filter, I mean display only the subcategories of the Category previously filter.
Same scenario I have with a report with Directors and Organizations, when I filter one Director it would be nice to see only the organizations of this director and not all options on the data.
I am new to writing macros and am wondering what is the easiest way to create a drop down and select multiple items separated by comas. The people who are going to input data into this spreadsheet are field people and not technically savvy so need to design something that is just a matter of cliking on the drop down and selecting multiple items and they should show on the same cell separated by commas.
I have created a DAta Validation List and it only select one item. I want it to select as many items that is on the list but i can't get it to work for my main worksheet I am working on. I can't figure out why I can't get it to work for the work sheet "This Don't" but it works for the worksheet "This Works" why and how I can change it so both Reason (Column F and H can) select mutliple items on there.

I watched a video on youtbe. And the women had three or four items in drop down box. She was using vba. When i emailed her to ask her how she did this, she kept telling me to go to her website and i was supose to figure it out on my own. I am trying to do a start up construction company. the link to her site is as follows Select Multiple Items from Excel Data Validation List - YouTube the idea of what i want to do, is how she clicks on a word and it follows in the coloumn to the right going down. This is what i need to know how to do. It is probably pretty elementary to many of you. But i build, i know how to read prints, to cut footprints for new homes etc. But when it comes to excel i am so green.
changing two variables a various amount of times and running the same procedure and copying the resutls into another sheet. Seems like a perfect place for a macro. However, these variables can be chosen from a list that the user wants. So why not build in a listbox for each one. Now I have two listboxes one for variable A and one for variable B.
The procedure in theory goes something like this we change variable A from the base case and then run the procedure for variable B, get the results, then run the scenario again but changing only variable B abnd repeat. Then once, all of the variable B scenarios are done, I want to change the variable A and then repeat and so forth.
That is the background and my main problem at this point, is that have these values in two listboxes, I know how to do the for each loops and such, however, I do not know how to do them for values in the listbox.
How do I identify the values selected in the respective listboxes and then pull them so I only use them for the for each loop?
I am trying to create a macro that will change all pivot fields with a certain name to the value I have the master pivot changed to. For example, I have 5 pivot tables, which each contain the field "Fruit". I want to change the 1st pivot table to "Apples", "Oranges", and "Pears" as active values, and then run the macro, making the other fruit fields also have these values. I can do it for single items, but when I need to do multiple items, I get an error message. I'm not sure how to write in VBA in order to do this.
I am trying to automate creation of pivot table, where the first three fields will go into the RowLabel field, and the rest of them will go into the values as "Sum of ____".
Is it possible? Because I could do it one by one; however, those fields are different every time (there are different number of those fields, and their values are also different).
I've attached some dummy data. Basically, everyday I'm going to dump a report containing data into a 'Data Dump' tab. 'Pivot 1 - Filtered' I have set up so that it will show specific product IDs only (In this example I only want to see 1X, 2X and 9D).
However, I now have a need to see the total value of that order number in 'Pivot 2 - Autofilter'. (For Example, order number 1111 has both 1X and 8D contained within it). Now obviously the simple thing to do would be to filter every order number shown in pivot 1, and filter pivot 2 with them. However when I'm doing this for real, this can be tens/hundreds of order numbers.
The only workaround I have found is to put a column at the side using VLOOKUP and if ISERROR is false then include in pivot, then used an autofilter on that, but I'd like to keep the normal pivot if possible.
I've got two long columns of dates and names. The dates and names can repeat. Eg:
01/01/14 Fred
01/01/14 Joe
01/01/14 Tom
[Code] ........
I want to input a date and create a list of names with only the names from the date I enter and earlier, and excluding names that appear again with a later date.
E.g. if I enter 01/01/14 I'd get:
Joe Tom
But not Fred, as although he appears on 01/01/14 he also appears with a later date too.
Have been going round and round on this! I have a set of data that shows sales dollars by weeks. Currently, that data is in a Pivot table. I'd like to have a macro that selects the weeks (1-52) based on my input. For example. If I want to see weeks 5-52, I want to be able to input "5-52" somewhere and have a macro run that will select weeks 5-52 in the pivot table instead of having to go in and manually select each.
One sheet will be where someone will be able to select the filtering criteria from a drop down box (ie. Industry, Company, Location, etc) then click an execute button. Then the macro will go to the second sheet where all the data is, filter the data and create a new spreadsheet with the selected data.
I have been able to create a filtering macro on the data sheet but have not been able to place the macro on the first sheet and have the macro run correctly. I have attached the file.
I have a pivot that shows Location, Dept and Total Sales by month. So Location and Dept are in the row area, Period is in the column area and Total Sales are summed in the page area.
Well, they decide they do not want to see Dept: 999 on the pivot. Thats easy, just click the dropdown and uncheck it....they are amazed at my ingenuity!
Well, they then notice Dept: 999 is no longer included in the Location total or grand total....makes sesne to me I say!
Well, they then specify that Dept: 999 should NOT appear on the pivot but SHOULD be included in subtotals / totals.
I'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. Hide Pivot Table Fields Pivot Items by Criteria
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
I've filtered my data - such as selecting a date range - and then run the pivot, but the pivot ignores the filter and gives me data for all the dates. my workaround is to copy and paste the filtered data to a new sheet and run the pivot off that sheet. This works fine, but maybe I can avoid this step?
I have a Pivot Table (pivottable1) starting from cell A1 (lets asume that this cell is "Pick up date"). What I want to do is to filter by each "Pick up date" one by one - for example by first date 2014-05-30 than do some stuff (I have this part of code so no worries) and after that pass to next Pick up date do the same stuff pass to the third pick up date and etc. The problem is that the number of Pick up dates can be different - sometimes it could be 10 pick up dates and another time it could be 150 of pick up dates. I suppose it should be some kind of loop but I have no idea how to start this.
Where H1 contains the word Assigned. I need to also find and add to count for matches in I1,J1 and K1 which contain New, Pending and Work in Progress respectively.
I have a pivot table with a group # on the left, and team members on the right. There are multiple team members in each group, and each are on a separate line in the pivot table, like this:
Group #Team1chrisdawnsally2cassiechrisdawnkathysally3jimjoejohntomGrand Total
I need to find where "sally" is on the team (easy to do"), BUT I need to display the rest of the team members in the group with her, like this:
Group #Team1Sally, Chris, Dawn2Cassie, Kathy, Sally, Dawn, ChrisGrand Total
Using the concatanate function to put them all into one cell and then filtering for "contains" was all I could come up with, but there are 14,000 groups
One of the few flaws I have found using pivot tables is that when selecting from the the page field it does not filter the other page fields to match your current selection. It does in the actual table, so why not the page fields?
For example we have a pivot table like the following |Country| (ALL) |City| (ALL)
|Count of People| |YEAR| ________ |Gender| _______________Male__________Female 2008__________1000 _________500000 2009__________9999999_______1
If I select England from the country, when I go to select a City I do not want to be able to select only the cities in England and not every city in the world.
The Attached File shows you how to deal with this Problem.
I'm working on pivot tables using excel macro. Basically , I need to filter out the year submitted according to the current year . I did this to filter out my pivot :
For Each PivItem In _ PT.PivotFields("Year Submitted").PivotItems PivItem.Visible = True Next PivItem For Each PivItem In _ PT.PivotFields("Year Submitted").PivotItems Select Case PivItem.Name Case "2012"
[code]....
But this can only filter out year 2012 . I need to use this workbook for the next couple of years and I dont want to keep modifying the codes .
