I want to display some text below a Pivot table, however, when I change the pivot tables filter - and the pivot table wants to expand - it gives a message - "Do you want to replace the contents of the destination cell" ... Yes / Cancel. I want an easy way to "bind" the text to the pivot table. I do not want to use a footer - as I want the text displayed onscreen.
I am trying to display text in the value field within a pivot table. I do not want a count or any number to display. What I am basically trying to create is a weekly schedule for nurses, with the dates on the top and times along the side, with "call type" and client as the text data to display with the value field.
I have attached an excel file with all the data on Sheet 1 and my attempt at a pivot table on Sheet 2. Perhaps there is some way to write a macro to display the data in a similar fashion, without using a pivot table?
The problem is that the table seems to always summarizes the time as well or it gives a count value of the time. If there is a better way or method to do this, I have open arms
I have 2 columns in a Pivot Table. One called Sum of AD Total, the other called Sum of Total Cost.
I want to add a third field that displays the Sum of AD Total as a percentage of the Sum of Total Cost.
So I assumed I would use the "% Of" facility in the "Show data as" drop down, and "Total Cost" in the Base Field drop down. But what goes in the Base item field as whenever I try and put something in I get N/A returned as a result in my PT?
I've come across an excel spreadsheet that has a pivot table which displays data from a sql server connection query. This worked fine before but recently the database it connects to was moved.
The connection string was updated to reflect this.
The main difference in the connection apart from a new server name, is that where before we were using a Trusted Connection, now we're using a SQL login.
Now only some of the data is shown.
The query still works - if I go into Edit Query (Data>Connections>Properties) the query runs fine. It just doesn't display properly anymore
I think this is something to do with the pivot table rather than any connection properties.
I have a Pivot Table set up that is summarizing some work responsibilities, and within the data table that the Pivot is referencing, there is a field for a Hyperlink that will take the user to the location on the network where the work has been saved. I am not sure if it is possible, but I want to have that Hyperlink work in the Pivot Table as well, and not just display the text for the link.
I have data in an Excel spread sheet that contains rainfall amounts that are to 2 decimal places. However, when ever I put the data into a pivot table they display as 1. I have reformatted the data in the base table, and tried to format the pivot table, all to no avail. There must be a way.
why when pivot tables display individual or single time values they are rounded up or down. i.e. a value of 1:31.5 is displayed in the pivot table as 1:35.0 etc. I have tried custom formatting the table itself but to no avail.
I tried multiple variations of searches for this, but can't seem to get this to work. I've been asked to perform some analysis on the number of direct reports for each manager in our company as well as the number of total reports. I have been able to calculate this with no problem. My difficulty comes with the request to be able to display this information in a particular way with Excel. (this is using Excel 2010)
What the VP would like to be able to do is to drill down on each manager to see all of their direct reports, and then, for any of those direct reports that are managers, be able to further drill down into those people's direct reports. The difficulty I am coming to is that, depending on the employee, there can be as many as 9 layers of management when I work this all the way up to the Executive Vice President Level.
My data is currently laid out such that my first 5 columns are identifiers such as employee id, employee name, job title and organization information. After that I have columns for the managerial hierarchy. For example first column of this (let's call it column H) is the EVP, the 2nd column (column I) is the Senior VP, 3rd column (column J) has the various reports to the senior VP, 4th column (column K) is the managers that report to those in column J, and so on, up to 9 layers.
For example, one of the employees in my finance area would have name of the EVP in column H, the SVP in column I, the director in column J, and their manager in column L. The remaining columns that could house hierarchy data are blank for them because of where they are in the hierarchy.
When I set up the pivot table, I placed each field of the managerial hierarchy in the row area and then the employee field at the end. The problem I encounter is that with all of the blank cells in the data due to the varying levels of the hierarchy, I get a lot of (blank) fields in the pivot table for any layer below where the person fits in (ie, for the example above, the EVP, SVP, and manager name come in find, but then it is (blank) on down to the employee name.) If I deselect (blank) in the field settings, it eliminates all of the rows that don;t go as far down in the hierarchy, i.e. I deselect (blank) at level 5, any employee that is 4 or less levels from the EVP does not appear.
I also tried doing the same as above but including the employee name in my hierarchy (so for the example above, the employee name would be placed in column M). This worked a bit, but then after every employee was the series of (blank) drill down options.
The ideal solution that I've been asked to come up with would be to have the data display as it does when I've set the pivot table up with the employee name in the appropriate hierarchy level, but not have the drill down (blank) show for those that don't have layers below them.
I have a table of data which I am analysing in a Pivot Table. For the majority of the data, the Pivot works very well: however I have a small issue, but it subsequently means the Pivot is useless.
Within the table array that I am referring to, there is a column of data of "Days per employee for a given period". The rows of data within the table array relate to every absence entry per employee, but this final column of data always contains the same figure (although can differ from employee to employee).
When I put the data into the Pivot, I can summarise the absence(s) as a simple sum. However, this final column of data should not be summed, since it is already the sum figure.
This figure though needs to be part of the Pivot, since I need to report on the percentage of absence days per type over the given period. So, the simple representation of =absence day(s)/worked days does not work... well I cannot get it to work. Additionally I have tried features like % of, but nothing.
I have a column in my pivot table with values that are formatted as percents. I am trying to make the grand total reflect the average of all values in the column, but it keeps showing a sum of all values.
Example: the values in the % column are 90%, 100%, and 110%. I want it to show 100% (the average), but it is showing 300% (the sum)
I have table with companies across in columns, months down the side in rows, and 6 parts to the data in addition to company and month. I have quotes from 3 different sources, and won deals from those 3 different sources. How do I create a pivot table/chart to analyze the data quickly, or find out Top 10 companies quoting with value and top 10 companies with won deals?
I have attached an example, taking out the company names with A, B, C, and source with A, B, C. The cells do have an array formula which picks data from another spreadsheet. Which, by the way, is really slowing my machine down each time I type something into the spreadsheet.
I am trying to have duplicates and their corresponding data appear in my pivot table. Assume I have a list of over 1000 stores. Let's say store 101 appears twice in my data file.
When I create my pivot, the 101 only appears once and the data is consolidated. Is there a way to ungroup/display duplicates?
I have a pivot table which has a report filter. The report filter can have anywhere from 20 to 350 values. The user will be able to select multiple values from the listing to produce the table as needed. I would like to be able to display what values were selected in the report filter so that the user can see this information once the pivot table is rendered. Is there any way to display this information either above below or along side of the table itself?
I am using Excel 2011 for Mac, but I also have access to Excel 2011 for Windows. Either way will work. I have been able to get quite a bit of what works on Windows to work with the Mac.
I am working on a pivot table just like the one on the picture here [URL] .......
Ideally I wanted the sums by date to be displayed horizontally and not vertically as shown in the picture, but was unable to do so. Anyways, I want to be able to filter those dates, so I can display data just from an specific date, and then change this date whenever I want and the new data will show up.
I tried doing by the checkbox that appears under the "data" dropdown on top of the column; However, when I uncheck a specific date, it dissapears and I have to add it again if I want to see it. Is there a way to keep the values on the dropdown even after I uncheck them? Or even another way to filter the information? Below is the pic of the dropdown I get when trying to sort the data, But as I said If I uncheck one of the values, it dissapears from the list.
refer to the attached workbook for reference. I am looking for a function in Sheet1, Column E that will search for the value of Sheet1, Column A within Sheet2, Column A. When a match is found, the function should look across Sheet2, Columns B - V for values of 1. When such values are found, the function should return the associated value from Sheet2, Row 2. There may be multiple values of 1, and as such, the function should separate values with a comma.
I have attached my workbook, it is a pretty standard pivot accross 3 sheets but it is only showing values instead of text, how can I change this? I have tried everything.
- 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.
From the research I've done, it seems that pivot tables do not support text in the values area, period.
Quite a bit of work has gone into aggregating this data, and it's so close, but the text fields are showing 0.
Have a look. Double-clicking on cell C5 (sheet 1) drills down into the individual record. Cell E2 (sheet 4) contains the text value I need--"Not Stated".
Is there any quick workaround to get this text value to showup in cell C5 of the pivot table?

So i have a raw data dump that I need to put in a spacific reporting fashion. Excel pivot tables seems to almost do the trick. The problem is the information that I need to drop in the "data" field is text (peoples usernames) and when I drop it in I get numbers instead of names, and when I drill down on the number then I get the exact format I need but only for that line... Any ideas? I am using Excel 2000
If pivot tables will not work does anybody know of another was to get raw data in a mapping type of spreadsheet?
I am struggling with data field in pivot table. Is it not possible to use strings in data field?
Here is a problem :-
Col1-----------Col2-----------Col3 ---------------------------------- A 11/1/2007 Y A 11/2/2007 Y B 11/1/2007 Y B 11/2/2007 N C 11/1/2007 N C 11/2/2007 Y D 11/1/2007 N D 11/2/2007 N
Required op :-
11/1/2007 11/2/2007 A Y Y B Y N C N Y D N N
I used pivot table to generate this output but in a data field I don't get strings; instead it shows 1 in place of Y/N.
I have a pivot table & want use the following to convert the cell from number to text under the Format Cell -> Custom. If I just type in [=1]"COA Denied";[=2]"Deferred to Future Class"; .... it works
However, I add more condition after , it won't work
[=1]"COA Denied";[=2]"Deferred to Future Class";[=3]"Offer Accepted - Confirmed";[=4]"Offer Declined";[=5]"Offer Waitlist Position";[=6]"Student Withdrawal Post Interview";[=7]"Waitlist Declined";
I've got two columns with data. The first is text, and the second is numbers. So I want to be able to enter a certain criteria that would be contained in the text, and have excel return a list of the rows of text that contain that criteria and that have the highest 3 values in the corresponding column. I can use multiple cells to do this if need be (i.e. one cell for the text with the highest value, one for the second highest value, and a third for the next highest value).
I work in my Client's office and assist in settling construction disputes. Part of this work is to browse/search their server for documents that may assist in strengthening their case.
During this review I have found an excel document which is a text-only version of a pivot table, ie someone has done a copy, paste special, values into this sheet. I need to extract the original source data from this table back into the list format, as the original source of the data cannot be located
The row titles on the left are activity descriptions, the column headers are dates and the data in the body of the table is hours. As an idea of size the data is spread over 213 columns and 45 rows. Their are more blank cells in the table than entries.
What I would like to do is create the data in it's original form ie
Column A; Date Column B; Activity Description Column C; Hours
and have a separate row for each instance of an entry of hours from the pivot table.
