I have a pivot table summarizing a lot of weight data on the product that we make. I have the actual weight and the specification weight, and a calculated field for the % over or under weight.
What I want is also a pivot column to show the range of weights for each product code. I have added a column (calculated) giving the weight difference (in gm) but when I collapse to summarise for each product it gives the sum of the differences. I think that the best thing may be to use an array formula on the source data table in order to give the range but I have not tried that yet.
I was hoping that then when i go to data > Pivot table and it asks for the range i could put =Data but it tells me that the range is invalid. I have attached a copy at the bottom.
- 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.
I have a data management issue that I have been able to resolve using SUMIFs and a custom table, but not in pivot form. Since the data source is a SQL database, I would prefer to resolve the issue in pivot form so that future values chart correctly. The data is formatted as so:
Job Day Start Day End Size Project
1 1/1/2014 1/10/2014 10 A
[Code] ......
From that data I want to see the total size of projects active at the start of the week for the past year. This would essentially mean summing the size of the projects if the week start date lies between the day start and end. This is what I ended up with:
Year Month Week Weekday Start Active Size
2014 1 1 1/1/14 10
[Code] .....
This is the associated pivot chart:
This would be "OK" except that I would also like to see the size breakdown by project, like this:
This is where I would need the data to be handled purely in a pivot so that when a new project is added, the pivot table will automatically make the summing column for it rather than my manual creation of columns for the data.
I have uploaded a link to a work book with the examples of the data and how I made the charts above. You can see that to make the second chart I had to manually create the columns for each project:

I've a macro that generates a pivot table from another excel workbook, however i need the range to be dynamic as the excel workbook im generating the pivot table from changes in number of rows on a weekly basis. Here is the existing coding:
I have a sheet in my workbook called Results. This sheet contains a list of a fixed set of columns (A - N) but with a variable number of rows.
I am trying to create a macro to create a pivot table from this data, which automatically selects all the rows in the Results sheet to form the data set.
I've had a look at some of the other threads on this topic, but just can't get this working.
I have the following code that I have pieced together from other threads - you will see I am trying to set "PivotRange" as the data set and include this as the data source in the pivot. I get a subcript out of range error when I run this.
Dim PivotRange As Range PivotRange = Range(Worksheets(Results).Cells(1, 1), Cells(lastRow, lastColumn)) Sheets.Add
I want to start copying at a cell that contains the word "Vehicle" that is in the middle of a pivot table and copy until the end of the pivot table but I don't want to copy anything before it. How can I word this to in VBA?
Because my pivot table is used by several users the data source changes often. In response, I created and applied a dynamic range using the offset formula. While the pivot talbe grabs the correct # of records, it inserts a blank column and row. There are NOT any blank cells in the data source range, as reflected by pivot table counts for the Blank column and Row. Any idea why Blank is showing up in my pivot table and how I can correct while maintaining the dynamic range?
Im trying for the first time to use a dynamic range as the 'source' for a pivot table. The pivot table and the source data are in two different tabs. The source data is on tab Log! and i have used Daves formula (i hope correctly) to define the dynamic range. The range starts at Column B and is 22 columns wide:
I have named this dynamic range DMR. I have a pivot table on another tab. When i try to use DMR as the source (Log!DMR), it gives me an error "Reference is Not Valid". I must have the syntax wrong somewhere.
I wonder if someone can tell me if it is possible to sort rows in a pivot table based on a range in the same workbook.
I have the pivot table set up as I need it but the values in the row change each time the macro is run (it is run when new data is added)
As part of the macro a list of Grades is imported into the Workbook. These grades are always imported in the correct order. As such I would like the pivot table to follow the order of imported grade list. The grades in the list will always be the same as the list in the pivot table.
I have created Pivot Table in "Sheet2" and the source data is in "Report" tab. The source data is in the range of A1:K200 -means until the last cell of the excel. Now if the data is more then this we need to change the source data every time before we refresh the pivot table - Is there any macro or any way so the range can be change automatically ?
I am trying to create a Pivot Table that filters on a range of data.
I have a sheet with lots of data on it, and separate sheet where I have created my Pivot Table and my list I wish to use as the filter values.
I need to extract 630 specific Departments out of thousands and report the movements against those depts. The 630 will change as time goes on and I want to just have a range where I can update the values as and when changes occur. I initially tried using Filter on Department but realized this was going to be a very long winded process.
i have a workbook containing two sheets "Impiorted Data" which is the data which is downloaded and the range will change each time the data is imported and "Pivot Table"
I would like a macro to increase the range of the data from col A to the lasst row in Col K so that the pivot Table has the correct range
I have recorded a macro , but would like this to be streamliined with regard to the range
I have created a system where users input data from a report into a spreadsheet, and after input it is sent off to various other workbooks depending on what was entered. I.e. The user is inputting test data on a location in a region. The regions make up the workbooks, and each location is a worksheet (While I can think of better ways to organise the data changing this is not an option here).
When the macro encounters a location in a region that hasn't been entered before it adds a new sheet based off the name of the location in the region's workbook, and creates a new named range for that sheet.
I'm running a pivot table in the central workbook, and I want to add the new named range to the page field when I create a new sheet. This is what I don't know how to do. EDIT: To clarify, the page field is choosing between which worksheet(via named range) is being shown currently.
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.
How do I create a Named Range that is dynamic (I think using the OFFSET function) that automatically expands and contracts as the rows and columns of my data changes?
Next step, I then want to use that Named Range as the source of the data for a PivotTable.
Yes, I know starting in Excel 2007 you can use Tables and don't need to create a dynamic named range. That is not an option at this time.
But this uses column A as the longest column... but sometimes it will be column I - how can the formula be adapted ? or can it be ? i've been looking at the Max function and trying to incorporate that but my limited brainpower has gone to mush.
Is it possible to always print out a specific pivot table even if changes/selection and range have changed? What I have right now is a button that prints out the pivot table (assuming the range is not changing). But if a user changes selection the button prints only a part of the pivot table.
I have the following vlookup formula in my spreadsheet.
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,'Purchase Order Pivot Table'!$5:$500,67,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP($A2,'Purchase Order Pivot Table'!$5:$500,67,FALSE))
It works perfectly for my current requirement, but it looks at data in a pivot table which is created from a dataset. If I name the columns in the pivot table so instead of looking at column 67 it looks at a name range will this name range change dynamically when the pivot table is refreshed? If not how can I get it to.
I am trying to create a pivot table on a new sheet names as 4x4
I am getting following error:
Error : 1004 Reference Not Valid
I am not sure where is the problem. I have generated this code by using macro recorder and just changed the source and destination of the pivot generation code.
Possible to get a pivot table to automatically expand the range selection of data as it grows. I have a worksheet that grows daily and I am running a pivot table from this. If I refresh the pivot table it doesn't pick up new data unless i change the range or i have a huge range selected in the first place. Problem is if i select a huge range then the grouping options i am using won't work correctly.
When using a Pivot Table I regularly filter on known data specific to me i.e. WBS codes.
Column ‘A’ contains the WBS Codes which can be as many a 1000, however, I only need to filter out the 10 or so I require, and currently I uncheck all the records and manually scroll through the list to check the ones I require.
In order to speed things up I recorded a macro which works fine, however, If I need to check any new codes I would have to record the macro again, as I tried to edit the Macro and all it does is to un check all the other codes I don't need.
Is it possible to create a Macro that picks up a range of data that is then used to filter on. (i.e. only the records I require)
Ultimate goal is to automatically update the source data for 4 pivot tables that are on 1 worksheet. The data for those 4 pivot tables are on 4 different worksheets w/in the same workbook. Consolidating into one dataset is not an option.
I'm familiar with a dynamic named range, but the 4 worksheets that contain the data are replaced daily via automated Access output which creates an error.
I know how to do this adhoc by matching the pivot table names with their respective worksheets, but there are many other documents with similar layouts where this would beneficial.
Below is an example of how I currently update 3 pivots on separate worksheets w/ the same data range which is w/in the same workbook. My proposed changes are below the current. Any ideas on how to return the workbook name as a string...Or am I going about this the completely wrong way...
