I have a spreadsheet with items and their maintenance dates. Each item may be listed multiple times with various dates. I want to create a pivot table that will show the most recent and previous maintenance date. The most recent is easy by using the built in "max of" in the Pivot table Wizard.
how to use the "Large" function in a pivot table? or is there a better way to get the 2nd largest value? Auto Merged Post;Bummer! No answers yet. I thought there might be some experts out there that would have a really tricky way of doing this.
" In formulas you create for calculated fields and calculated items, you can use operators and expressions as you do in other worksheet formulas. You can use constants and refer to data from the report, but you cannot use cell references or defined names. You cannot use worksheet functions that require cell references or defined names as arguments, and you cannot use array functions." I think I may end up adding a column to the original spreadsheet to create the 2nd largest value and use it in the pivot table.
- 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'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 data that develops 3 to 4 pivot table each day. I would like to know if there is a way to change the date on one of the pivot table and have the other pivot tables date change to match with the first pivot table. At this time I am going to all 3 or 4 pivot table to select the correct date. The date is in the page position of the pivot table. I have attached a small sample of the data and the pivot tables.
Someone sent me a spreadsheet and asked me to clean up the code, which has been going pretty well, but they had this bit of code that is unfamliar to me and is quite bulky, I was wondering if there is a cleaner way to write this bit of code? This is only a very small portion of this particular code that they had in the workbook, so I would like to make it look a bit neater if at all possible.
How can I possibly find the source path of a file used to build a pivot table. So basically the pivot table is using an external source and I'm unable to find it.
I have written some simple VBA code so that on Sheet 4 I have a drop down list box to choose the month.
When the month is chosen by the user it moves to the active cell and changes the dates, as well as dates in some other columns (I used activecell.offset ....).
This code runs perfectly fine when I haven't refreshed the pivot tables in the workbook. But straight after a refresh, if I try and change the month it gives a run time error and gets stuck at the first instruction:
I've got a bit of a problem revealing pivot table source data, so just wondering if anyone know how to reveal it? My colleague sent me the spreadsheet, I can see the pivot table, but I can't find the source data that the pivot table links to.
I am having issues with a VBA script. The Spreadsheet is linked to a SQL DB and updated with data from scripts that are executing throughout the day. This is then fed to a dashboard. We have a Baseline that shows in the Date column as 0/0 and 1/1. I need a way to ensure that the 1/1 is always in the last row of the chart so the baseline shows across the entire range of dates. The current method is to declare a variable and add 1 to it whenever we iterate through the sort for the other dates. However everyday the 1/1 baseline column ends up further to the beginning until it is next to the 0/0 in position 2.
So I am trying to find a way to have the macros find the last row of the Date field and then set the position to be equal to the last row.
I created a pivot table, but having a bit of difficulty. Here is what it tells me to do....
"...pivot tablet that calculates the number and average salaries by position."
I had no problem included in the table the average salaries by position, however I can't figure out how to calculate the number as well. It's apparently supposed to be another column since the instructions tell me to change the label above 'count' to 'number'.
Whenever I make one with numbers, I get formatting for a number as below
1234567.78(no commas and 2 decimal places)
I normally want the formatting as 1,234,568 (comma inserted, no decimals,), (the last digit is changed just becasue of round off, other wise number in both cases is same).
Now I can double click the field, goto number--> number and then apply this formatting.
My question is whether there is a setting in excel somewhere so that this formatting will come as default (after I create the pivot table each time)?
Rather then this showing all values between these dates, I was hoping to see only those two dates. This will enable my to compare weekdays for a Dashboard.
I'm trying to update a pivot table filter with a list on another worksheet. When I do a record and select two WBS for filter criteria I get the following:
If I entered values 700UY0S1MGL1 & 700UY0S1MGL2 in cells A1 and A2 of Sheet2 in the same workbook, how can I get this code to read that? If I extend the list to include additional items, how can I get the code to read it?
My next question is, in Excel I could enter a partial search (like 700UY0S1MG) in the filter drop down and I could filter on everything with this string. Using the macro it seems as though the full 12 char string needs to be qualified. How would I write a macro to handle this?
I have worksheet with data . Everytime number of rows with some data in it changes . Like sometime there are 100 rows with data or other tome it may be 57 only. I want to write VB code to select only those rows which have data. Thereafter I will use Pivot Table code to get required information. I know VB code to generate Pivot Code. But what happens is that if any blank row gets selected in data range for Pivot Tables, thereafter grouping by "Month" is not done.
go through attached file? In Module 1 ( which contains macro ) instead of R1C1:R8C4 , I want range with data only.
I'm new to using VBA and have been recording macros and then trying to edit them where I need to and using Google to get the answers that I need, however I have hit a snag when I create a pivot table using my current macro.
The data sheet that I am creating my Pivot Table from will always have a different number of rows from week to week, but I am unsure of how to code this into my macro. When I recorded this, I used the range A1:S10000, which gives me (Blank) as the last row in my pivot table. change my code so that it only selects the data rows to stop these blanks appearing?
Code:
'Pivot Table DATA Tab to show Call Out Times for all Centres in file ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _ "DATA!R1C1:R10000C19").CreatePivotTable TableDestination:= _ "PIVOT!R3C1", TableName:="PivotTable1", DefaultVersion:= _
I have enable Refresh on Open for my excel pivot table, but user need to click "Enable Automatic Refresh" , only solution i came across is to change the registry setting. Which i dont have access to edit registry(admin disable the access).
Alternate solution i try to use Access macro to automate the process and use Outputto save it as a excel file A. Then use excel file B to update pivot table from excel file A.(as excel A data is always latest) The problem is i will get "....A file name already exist...do you want to overwrite.." prompt. Which defeat the automate process.
Any other solution to enable the automatic refresh on open the excel workbook?
Or Access can overwrite the exist file or save it as another file name with timestamp ?
I have a very large excel data file, which I want to analyse using pivot tables. The problem is that while most of the columns are headed with the variable name (e.g. country) and have the list of variables displayed under that heading for each observation (e.g. Italy), the years are spread across the columns - i.e. the heading for column X is not "Year", but is 2003, with the next column being 2004, etc.
Is there a quick way I can re-arrange the data so that the layout is consistent and so that I can use it for pivot tables? I have way too many observations to do this by hand.
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...
I can't find the Pivot Table icon in the toolbar. I tried "Insert", I can only see the 'table' icon, but cannot see the 'pivot table' icon. how can I find this 'pivot table' icon, or create it in the tool bar?
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?
Recently, the boss showed me a Pivot table & chart, which consists of a list of about 30 user names in the first column. The row headings were the different items they purchased from a vending machine. & when he clicked on any name in the first column, this created a new sheet, renamed with users name, with a small table of results showing what that person purchased.
Problem is, none of us can figure out how to do this. I have created a new Pivot table & chart exactly like the original, but I cannot get the smaller sheet to generate. (Excel 2010)
