Edit: This is my first question so I can't yet embed images.
Consider a very simple dataset that has a Date column and a Value column. The Value column can be a numeric measurement of any kind.

I want to create a Pivot Chart out of this dataset to visualize and interact with the data. However, when grouping the Date field in the corresponding Pivot Table, the Value field can only be summarized as a sum, count, average, min, max, etc., and I want the Pivot Table to show the Value corresponding to the biggest date in the Date group.
For example, if I don't group at all the Pivot Table correctly shows the Value for each day. But if I group Date by months I want the Pivot Table to show the Value corresponding to the last date of the month not the sum of Values for the entire month, the count of Values, the average of Values, etc. Similarly, if I group by quarter I want to get the Value corresponding to the last day of the quarter; if I group by year, then the Value for the last day of the year and so on.
Ι've already tried looking into Calculated Fields but I can't use XLOOKUP. I've also tried rearranging the fields in the Pivot Table as suggested by this other question Pivot tables in excel - showing last values, but that results in the latest Date for each Value (e.g. the latest date where the value "42" was seen).
The most promising thing I've tried is using the Date field in the Rows and Values section of the Pivot Table Fields panel and then adjusting the Value Field Settings to summarize by max.

This returned the biggest date per Date group which seems closer to what I want but I don't know yet how to get the corresponding Value for that date (within the Pivot Table that is).

With the following measure defined within Power Pivot:
Value for Latest Date :=
VAR LatestDate =
MAX( Table1[Date] )
RETURN
CALCULATE(
MAX( Table1[Value] ),
Table1[Date] = LatestDate
)
which can then be dragged into the Values area of the Pivot Table.
I can see how to have a column showing a distinct count if I load the data into the pivot table as a data model, but then I cannot add a calculated field.
Can you have a pivot table with distinct counts and calculated fields?
Created a Summary Tab for Individual Employee Pivot Tables
The Individual Pivot tables are collapsed for the Row(s). Example Expenses.
If the Expenses row is collapsed the sumifs formula on the Summary Tab = 0
If the Expenses row is expanded the sumifs formula works correctly.
Is there a function to sum if the Pivot Table is collapsed?
Thank you!
I have this pivot table in Excel and I would like to count only the highest level of the grouped rows. Without using VBA.
Expected result would be 5.
enter image description hereHi,
When i try to convert my data source( that contains a list of countries as columns with daily deaths noted)into pivot(converting the list of country columns into a single column with all the countries as rows) in tableau, I am getting null values for the column pivot field values.
Here i am attaching my original data source and the sheet which is pivoted
The pivot values show null because there are no data available. Note that, the Tableau data pane will only show you a sample of your data. when you go into Tableau sheet to create your views you can drag pivot value into text in the marks card. That is a true test to see if there are numbers in the pivot value field.
