Pivot Tables
Hi, I was windering if some one could provide me with a link to a tutorial for what I am trying to do. I have an aggregate table. This table has several groups and several columns. The intersection of a group and column is an aggreate value such as Sum function of a column value in that group. Normally a Pivot table shows 1 aggregate value at the intersection of a group and a column. What I want is: To show more than one value at the intersection besides the aggregate value. In other words, if a simple pivot table cell is: Aggr(x,y) where aggr is an aggregate function such a...

Using formulas for pivot table
I know you have the count field but is there away to input a formula? For example customer ordered 25 cases and each case weighs 4 lbs and the end result would need to be total pounds ordered.

Then, add the OrderTotal field to the pivot table's data area. tskb wrote: > I know you have the count field but is there away to input a formula? > For example customer ordered 25 cases and each case weighs 4 lbs...

chart options show data table
Currently using 2 workbooks to produce 1 chart - the source data in workbook 1 and the chart in workbook 2. We also are using the "show data table" option to most easily view all values in the chart.

Is there any way to hang onto this formatting after the workbook is closed? Data tables in charts are not particularly flexible or capable. You combine the workbooks.

pivot table error (25000 rows!!)
