I'm trying to create an Excel Pivottable that grabs data from an Access Query and then shows the values grouped by what I want. That part works fine enough, what I would like to know is if it is possible to add text infront of grouped values in a way that is smart? The purpose is to just be able to change which Access database it should grab data from and have a standardised view where no manual changes have to be made.
What I currently have:
What I would to have:
As far as I can see I can add it manually, but there might be new cases of Øxxx types.
I would add reference table with columns sufficient to join to your view and then "prefix text" column that would be appended in front of the existing (quantity in english?) column. Or you could add it to the pivot. This method let's you add/delete rows from the reference table as needed.
If you cannot alter the access side for some reason, then another way is select all the raw data to a sheet and then use VLOOKUP or some other formula to add the prefix. And then pivot this data sheet.

I have multiple pages in Confluence, each with the same table with different content.
I want to collect all these tables into one table. This works.
Now I want to add the name of the pages into the first column. This works.
But, this column is called pages. I want it to be called Projects.
The underlying table might be expanded and therefore I do not know which nor how many columns the tables have. That is the reason why I use T1.*. I need all that columns that are there, but I want to leave out the Page column.
I am using the Table Transform, which enables me to write a SQL script.
The SQL syntax is ALASQl.
I tried the following, which gives another column called Projekt:
SELECT T1.'Page'AS Projekt, T1.* FROM T
But how do I remove column Page?
There is no rename in asasql in confluence.
I have this table:
Is it possible to make a pivot table to present the information like this?:
Thanks!
Sure it's possible. As shown in your example, you just need to change the special character "✔️" by the number 1 using "ctrl + f". Then insert a Pivot Table with the data. And finally, create a new column named TOTAL and add the "=sum()" formula to count the items from each row. Something like that:
You are going to need to move this data from the word doc you are using into an Excel worksheet, in order to generate a pivot table.
format your data like this in Excel
To start out creating a pivot table, make sure that all rows and columns are selected and record (row) must not be obscure or elusive and must be making sense. Navigate to Insert tab, click PivotTable.
You will reach Create Pivot Table dialog box. Excel fills in data range from first to last selected columns and rows. You can also specify any external data source to be used. Finally choose worksheet to save the pivot table report.
The pivot table should appear. You can then populate this table with data fields which will pop up on the right hand side. Enable the fields you wish to compare in the pivot table report.
I have an Excel file including thousands rows as follow. First column includes names and second column include group of each. I want to have all names belong to group "A" at another sheet dynamically. because name and group list may be changes. In other words, what command or function I should use to list all names belong to group "A"?
There are 3 ways to do this. The options are below. One thing you did not include in your question is what the results should look like.
Equations like =FILTER(A:B,B:B="A")
Pivot tables to use this convert data to table, then create pivot table. This requires refresh when new data is added.
Power query to use this convert data to table, then go to Data>From Table/Range. This requires refresh when data is added but you can change the "connection properties" under Data>Refresh All˅.
Now if you want all in group "A" to be listed with in one cell, then I would use option 3 with groupby as talk about here.
If the answer works for you the expectation is that you checkmark it and upvote it. If the answer does not work for you add a comment at the bottom and the problem you experience. For your situation you will need to adapt the answer.
I have an excel spreadsheet full of customer data including a few single letter categorical variables.
For example: property type can be (I for investment, O for owner occupier, or R for renter). Is it possible to replace the single letter with a descriptive title in the rows on a PivotTable? I do not have the descriptive names anywhere in my spreadsheet and I would prefer not to add them.
you can give nicknames to the fields that you are checking which populate the pivot table.
If you go the pivot table data and right click you can change the value field settings to give a custom name to a row/series but I do not know about individual data points.
path: pivot table data => right click => select Field Settings => edit custom name.
It does not look like it modifies the raw data (before pivot table).
It adds the name to the chart as well. So make sure your chart looks okay.
to my knowledge this is the best tool for you to mess around with.
Hopefully this answers your question.

Ugh,
I'm not a hero when it comes to Excel...
I have an Excel file with one sheet that contains all data. It's basically a list of tickets, displaying the ticket ID, type, value and 5 dates per row.
I'm looking for a way to have new sheets in the Excel that actually display only tickets of a specific type. So on the sheet Bug Tickets I want to diplay like a filtered sub-set of the raw data in the first sheet.
However, this new sheet needs to refresh it's data automatically when I add new data to the main list.
Is this possible in Excel?
Ok here is a way using a Pivot Tables and Tables.
You should set it up like below: (in the SS, I put the pivot in the same sheet but you can put it in another).
Steps:
You need to create a table out of your data. See here on how to do it.
Then create a Pivot Table out of your table. See here on how to do it
After that you just need to format it the way you want.
The Pivot table will update everytime you add data on your table.
It will display what you've filtered.(in my example I filtered type A).
Notice: Apologies I cannot create a step by step procedure for you(very tedious). I wouldn't have posted this as answer if only it would fit as comment.
