I have two slicers that are in a hierarchy. These are attached to a Pivot table whose data source is an OLAP cube. Every Partner Parent is part of a Partner Group:
Partner Parents Slicers.png
My problem is that when I click SI Alliance in Partner Group, the Partner Parent slicer does not re-sort in any way. The corresponding selected Partner Parents are scattered throughout the alphabetical list. However, in a different document, I have slicers in a similar situation, except their Pivot table’s data source is a SQL Server database. When I click on a member of the higher up group (Accenture Global Client) the lower level group (Microsoft Account Name) sorts to show only the selected values at the top of the list:
This is with all selected - Accenture Slicers All.png
This is with just one Accenture Global Client selected. Note how the selected Microsoft Account Names have moved to the top of the list - Accenture Slicers Selected.png
How I can configure my Partner Parent/Partner Group slicers to behave like these Accenture/Microsoft slicers? Is there something that I can change in Excel or in the OLAP cube to make this happen? I have already tried right-clicking the slicer and going to Slicer Settings. The settings on the Parent/Partner Group slicers mimic those of the Accenture/Microsoft slicers exactly.
I am currently working with a pivot table someone else created. The data set has dates only, in the correct format. The slicer has the dates categorized by month and excludes the dates in which there was no data.
Here is my problem: I added a few new months of data. Everything is calculating just fine in the Pivot table. However, my slicer where I should be able to pick the month now has these months listed as all their individual dates. I want to put the December dates under "December" and so on. The data that was present before I loaded anything additional still has this feature.
How do I group these dates, to be able to them as months? By the way, the grouping function is grayed out.
I' have two slicers that each control two pivot tables. The slicers both are for the same field ("Department") but I guess the pivot table structure differences don't allow me to simply have one control all four tables.
Since both slicers contain the exact same options from the same field on the same origin table, I would like to problematically ensure that when department "A" is selected on slicer1, it is also selected on slicer2. When departments "A, B, & C" are selected on slicer1, the same are selected on slicer2. When filters are cleared... you get the picture.
I'm trying to put cemetery records in a simple, sortable table, names and dates. The problem is that for some entries I have a full date of birth, death, or burial (e.g. 5/12/1892) and for others only a year (e.g. 1892). Is it possible to sort these? All I can get is the just years in order then the full dates at the end. My data look sort of like this:
Smith John 1892 1/1/1940 2/2/1892 Johnson Sarah 3/12/1900 1880 3/10/1900
One thing I don't know is what number format to use (text, long date, short date....) Sometimes the date I type changes after I type it (like 1892 became March 6, 1905) and sometimes it doesn't even though the cell is the same format.
So Column 1 I've got dates, need to sort through that and calculate Year-to-date and Month-to-Date values. These are both Sums of the cells.... YTD = Sum of all cells with most recent yr, in this case 2007 MTD = Sum of all cells in Column B for most recent month, Feb2007 here.
I've listed the desired solution for YTD and MTD on the sheet as well. (I'm guessing the solution will have something to do with SUMPRODUCT?)
In the attached workbook, sorting the dates in column M results in absolutely nothing happening. The dates are formatted as dates (dd/mm/yyyy). The dates in column M are arrived at by adding a number of days (formatted as Number) to another date, the value of which was determined by an array formula. When I retype the actual date into another column and sort that, I get it sorted. Why does the other sort not work? BTW - I actually need to sort column M with column N.
Find the sorting method of dates in excel 2010. I have dates in one column and i want to sort it, but I am not able to sort in ascending or descending order.
I have an auto generated report that is exported into .csv, my dilemma is that it sorts both the account code and the date in the same column, like this:
9884A B Gerrish Ltd œ 577.270577.270 30/09/201231/10/20121865518655277.010277.01MAL/553260 30/09/201231/10/20121884218842264.260264.26MAL/553259 30/11/201231/12/2012195541955436036MEL/549200
so "9884" and "30/09/2012" are in the same column.
Some how i need to turn this information to say the below three invoices are for account 9884, into more of a usuable data like:
9884 A B Gerrish Ltd 30/09/2012 etc etc.
Obviously through out the document this repeats for each account, upto some 1000 accounts.
Im using slicers of a pivot table which has been generated from a sheet containing around 50 rows of data - not a lot of information. I deleted the information, then started re added information. I then refreshed the pivot table which worked but the slicer still contains information that I input a week ago. I deleted the slicer an cretaed a new one but again, it still contains data from a week ago even thought the pivot doesn't. How to make the slicer refresh to show contains of the pivot?
I have two slicers, say slicer 'F' that slices on fields 'x', 'y' and 'z' and slicer 'E' that slices on fields 'a', 'b', 'c'.
I select these values by using a very simple macro. For instance to select z in slicer "F", I have the following code:
With ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("F") .SlicerItems("x").Selected = False .SlicerItems("y").Selected = False .SlicerItems("z").Selected = True End With
However, I want the selected fields to have more flexibility than which is possibly by coding them in VBA. Ideally, I would want to write the selected fields in a cell in Excel (also if there are more of them!), then let the macro retrieve these fields and use them to apply to the slicer. So I write in a cell slice on X and Z, the macro picks this up and performs this operation.
I have a list box contains of customer name and I used that to set up formula based on your selection in the list box. However, I wonder if there is a way that can select multiple customers in the list box and it will add up all that customers from your multiple selection like in the pivot slicer. I don't know if we have any formula that can do that complicated thing.
The main objective of the code is to create different workbooks that are going to be send to different people(with only their data).
I am using the filter to delete the data that I don't need and then create a new workbook, save it and close it. This has been working fine.
The issue is that I have two slicers in the 'DistMenu' sheet. When I open again the newest workbook, they slicers are disconnected to the pivot tables. This can be fix manually by selecting the slicers --> PivotTables Connections etc
I use the macro recording to get a code and work from there, but is giving me error '1004' "Unable to get the PivotTables property of the Worksheet class".
I have to use VisibleSlicerItemsList as it is an external data source (so cannot use ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches(Slicer Name).SlicerItems(Slicer Valuel).Selected = True/false)
Now, when user chooses 2,3 or more countries, they will be in cells A2, A3, A4... etc.
So, if the user selected 2 countries I would need to run a following code:
I created a macro to create the beginning of a pivot table- just the rows and slicers, because when I tried making a longer macro to create the entire pivot table (formatting, etc) I couldn't get the macro to work.
So I do get all the vertical rows I want, and I do get all the slicers I want. But I get blank space. I think this is because the pivot table is created from another tab, and the length of data in that tab will vary from file to file (I'm doing another 30 or so of these, all with varying amounts of data, but the same data categories).
Anyway, I get slicers, but in addition to getting the categories I want, I also get "(blank)" below the names in the slicers. Is there a way to add some code to the macro to remove the blanks so I don't get this field?
I have copied and pasted the macro below, with identifying data changed.
I have multiple pivot tables with different data source. I wish to have one slicer which control all the pivot tables. I would have one common colum for all the pivot tables which is the one i wish to control for instance the person in charge. Note that all my pivot tables are from different data source. how to do it?
I have two pivot tables, both of which source the same sheet of data. Each record in the data has two fields, Region ID of person and Region ID of facility, that reference the same list of Region IDs via vlookup (it's just numbers 1-12). Either one or both can be blank. One pivot outputs counts by person Region ID, and the other, by facility Region ID.
Using a combination of nested IF statements and vlookups, I tried making a third Region ID field that could be used as a slicer to control both tables, but what I end up with is an undercount in one of the tables. The only thing that works so far to output the correct counts is having two separate slicers, the facility Region ID being the slicer for one and the person Region ID being the slicer for the other. If the end user wants to see counts for one Region ID, they have to manually set one slicer equal to the other. But what we want is just for the end user to be able to control both tables just by pushing a single number, Region IDs 1-12.
I can make one of the slicers hidden but then how do I get the hidden slicer to automatically select Region ID values equal to the nonhidden slicer? Alternatively, I could somehow program a combo box or list to control the two different slicers, then the slicers would be hidden and the user would see only the combo box/list. (I guess in either of these alternatives, I could just use a report filter instead of a slicer; either way, I still have to get items in one to automatically select based on the user's selected items in another).
FYI, some of the options I looked up involved PowerPivot, which I do not have access to. VBAs/macros are ok.
I've inherited a workbook that has about two dozen or so pivots spread over a few worksheets that source data from an analysis services cube.
There are multiple slicers attached to the various pivot tables and charts
Some of the reports (worksheets) have a business rule that certain filters need to be selected in specific combinations for the data that's returned to make sense.
eg the fact table holding the measures has a billmonth and processmonth that's linked to role playing date dimensions. For the report to reconcile the data correctly both the billmonth and processmonth need to be set to the same value. So if I select 2014-03 on the billmonth slicer, I need to set the processmonth slicer to 2014-03 as well. And there's another pivot on the same worksheet that's linked to a different fact table that's at the year grain, and for that bit to make sense it should be set to 2014.
My task is to simplify this by propagating the billmonth value to the processmonth and the billyear, but I haven't played with vba in about 7 or so years, so I'm very out of practise.
How do I use vba to monitor a slicer for changes? and if it does change how to set another slicer to a dynamic .Value? It can be assumed that the value will always exist in the downstream slicers, if it doesn't the user has bigger problems than an excel error.
I've recorded the macro of me selecting the same date on both slicers but it doesn't give me much to go on
I am trying to create a "dashboard" style report using a pivot table and pivot chart with slicers. All of these objects (table, chart and slicers) are in the same worksheet. However, the users of the report (read executive management) are not very Excel savvy and I want to protect the format of the report. So, I want to protect the sheet and only allow access to the Pivot table options. However, in order to make the slicers usable, it appears that I have to allow them to edit objects. This unfortunately means that they can then move those objects (the Slicers and Chart).
I am looking for a way to lock the slicers and pivot chart in position. I have already accounted for column width changes created by modification of the pivot table parameters by selecting the "Don't move or size with cells" option under PivotChart Tools > Size > Format Chart Area > Properties > Object positioning. This is the default/locked-out setting for the slicers.
I have a Reporting workbook I designed. There is a "Parent" workbook with the following design.
It has 6 Pivot Tables on a Sheet called "Data"
It has 6 Pivot Charts that were created from these tables on a page called "Summary"
These 6 Pivot Charts are all linked through a pair of slicers.
There is a "control" page which has instructions and buttons that trigger "Refresh All" and "Create Child Workbok".
This design is so that someone unfamiliar with excel could conceivably create the final product.
Essentially I have written/put together VBA to Create a new workbook "child" which has should be a funcitoning copy of the "parent".
The problem is the copiedmoved (I have tried both) Pivot Charts no longer update/refresh when the pivot tables change. I have script that reconnects the Pivot Tables to the Slicers. Slicers are fully funcitonal. Links in cells are fully functional.
Some of this code might look familiar.
Code:
Sub createWB() ' Copies VBA modules, Calls Dim wbNew As Workbook, wbT As Workbook Set wbT = ActiveWorkbook On Error Resume Next Kill ("PATHmod1.bas") Kill ("PATHmod2.bas")
I have aprox 700 groups of cells "I selected a set of cells and named them". these groups cover 3500 rows. There sizes very in the number of rows per group but, all have the same number of columns.
What I'm tring to do is create a summary sheet. I want to copy all groups that have meet a single criteria to another sheet. The criteria will always be in the same column. The criteria is part of a function and will change each time I import new data into my excel sheet. Am I even close by trying to group them like this?
I'm working on a spreadsheet to track student test scores over the course of the school year. Each score set is grouped by student, but we need to be able to realphabetize when new students are added. is there some way to accomplish this?
I have a few pages of information and have grouped rows collapsed to show only the summary information. When I try to print only visible summary rows, whether I use print, print selection, copy and paste to another sheet or copy and "paste special" values to another sheet, all the hidden/grouped rows print or the summary rows print separately on different pages. Is it possible to print only the summary rows.
I have a spreadsheet with one column for each day. I've grouped the days into months and now I would like to minimize (minimize each month) Is it possible to close all, without having to select each group?
