Issue with Excel Pivot table - excel

I have a pivot table in Excel which is connected to 3 slicers [Dep Slicer, Rep slicer, Date slicer].
I created custom list to sort the pivot table in order of Rep1, Rep2, Rep3 ..... Rep40, this works perfectly well but I do notice that when the report is being emailed out the users and the users use the slicers this change the order of the Rep slicer and the order of the pivot table
Can anyone help please.
I want the slicers not to change the order when they are being used and also the pivot table not to change when slicers are being used.

Compare 2 pivot tables side by side

I have a pivot table gathering data from a sheet, using slicers i'm able to filter data.
What i wanted to do is get data from 2 slicers, like one slicer with March and another with June and show it side by side within the same pivot table or different, So I can compare data.
I'm using Excel, any ideas?
Let me know if there is anything else u might need to help
Before creating any slicers, copy your pivot table and place beside the original table. Then create your Slicer on Pivot 1, and repeat for Pivot 2. These will be exclusive slicers as long as you do it in this order.

Grand Total Row In Excel Pivot Slicer

I'm trying to add the grand total row from my pivot table to my slicer. My slicer currently controls A lot of my charts and I want to be able to see the subtotals/grand totals of my certain field in my pivot table, displayed onto my chart. I cannot add a calculated item to my pivot table as I keep getting an error involving my source table (Can't Be Changed). I'm open to VBA solutions as well if anybody has one.

Cannot group fields in Pivot Tables

Software: MS Excel 2016
Excel File: GitHub Repository
I am unable to group fields in pivot table of Excel file.
Graffiti table is linked with Calendar table via Date (in PowerPivot > Data Model), so why is there difficulty in grouping the following.
However if I unlink the tables (which is what I DO NOT want to do), then it works
In his online course, Building BI with Pivot Tables, Ken Puls, Microsoft Excel MVP explains that if you build your pivot table from the data model, grouping won't work. He also explains that the only exception to this is that for Excel 2016 they fixed the ability to group dates. He says other grouping still doesn't work in Excel 2016. If you make your Pivot Table from your "Table1" in your "DSNY_Graffiti_Information" tab in your Workbook instead of from the Power Pivot data model, you can group:
For the Pivot Table above, I just clicked in "Table1" in your "DSNY_Graffiti_Information" tab, then used Insert -> Pivot Table, and I used your "RESOLUTION_ACTION" column for both the "Rows" and "Values". It defaulted the values to count (i.e., "Count of RESOLUTION_ACTION").
Then I selected all of the "10-..." entries in the Pivot Table, right-clicked, and clicked "Group".
I hope this helps some.

Filter Pivot in Report Filter for a range of values

I have the following issue. I have large dataset with product codes, dates at which they are shipped and their tranport method.
I would like to create a pivot of the product code on the left and their transport method on the top. But as variable I would the pivot to only present a range of dates. These dates are presented in the form yyyyww. (example: from 201420 to 201505).
I have a column where each of the individual year and weeknumber as presented, so they could be looked up from there. This also allows it to be a variable.
How can I get this pivot to present this information between a date range?
In Excel 2010 and later you can insert a slicer for any field in the data source and click the values in the slicer that you want to include in the pivot table. Shift click to select contiguous slicer values, Ctrl-click to pick non-contiguous slicer items.
As an alternative to slicers, you can drag the desired filter columns into the filter pane.
The screenshot shows the column names in the filter pane and how the filters appear above the pivot table. It also shows slicers to the right of the pivot table. A pivot table in Excel 2010 and later can have both filters and slicers. Earlier versions can only have filters.
The following screenshot shows what happens when values have been clicked on the slicers. These selected slicer values are mirrored in the filter settings (and vice versa). So, a slicer is just a user-friendly way to select one or more filters for the pivot table.
Please note that you would normally only use one method: either slicer OR filters. Choose the one that you like most.

Filter power pivot using selections from another pivot table

I created a power pivot (KPI-1) with three working slicers. Instead of slicers, I'd prefer to filter KPI-1 using a selection from another power pivot (Pharmacies) within the same workbook.
I created a second power pivot (KPI-2) without slicers on a new sheet in the same workbook, and then created slicer connections to the first power pivot (KPI-1). I can successfully use the slicers from KPI-1 to filter KPI-2.
Is there any way to directly filter a power pivot based on a selection from another power pivot table, OR is there a way to pass the selection from power pivot Pharmacies to KPI-1's slicers, which will then filter my slicerless KPI-2? I could then just hide KPI-1.
Click into pivot table KPI-1 and press Insert -> Slicer
Right click the slicer and select Report Connections...
Check the KPI-2 pivot table
All filters set in pivot table KPI-1 will be transferred to the Slicer and all connected pivot tables.
This only works, if the two pivot tables have the same data source!
