I have a pivot table in Excel with a few filters.
There a particular columns in filter that contain large data and a few columns that have small data. So I want to fix the column size to a particular value so that whenever I change the filter in the pivot table the size of column remains same.
I have added an example below.
So I want to fix the size of column A no matter how the filter changes its width remains same. Is it possible?
Go to PivotTable Options and clear Autofit column withs on update checkbox:

I have a pivot table made in Excel and I already have all the % collected data there.
Now, what I need to do is show only the critical ones which are less than 85%, as I don't need anything above that being shown.
Is there a way I can show less than 85% or any other amount in the future?
Add another column to your raw data. Set formula to [assuming the % is in column A]:
=A1<85%
Add this column to your pivot table as a filter. Filter for where your new column = TRUE.
Edit for new info
Per your comments below, the %'s are not actually calculated "within" the pivot table, they are next to the pivot table on the same tab. So, simply add an "if" statement to that formula, like so:
= if(('Total Paid'+'Total Contr. Adj.')/('Total Billed Amount'-'Other Adj.'-'Write-Off')<85%,('Total Paid'+'Total Contr. Adj.')/('Total Billed Amount'-'Other Adj.'-'Write-Off'),"")
This will check to see if your formula is <85%. If it is, the formula will appear there.
I have Pivot table with one Axis field (containing 13 elements 0-12) and two Values series. One of the series (A) has 13 values. The other series (B) has only 3 elements.
When I make a pivot table, I'm able to hide the zero values using this explanation :
Excel 2010: Hide 0 values in Pivot
However when I make a pivot chart (line chart) the series B keep showing zero (or a line dropping to the x-axis). I want the line of the series B to stop when there are no values (the line should be floating on the chart).
Anyone has an idea how to achieve this ?
I faced a similar issue where the Series drops down to Zero.
I have a Pivot Chart linked to a Pivot Table with multiple Series for 7 different Key Figures & other Fields. I pick up my source data from BEx/BI using Formula to bring in some extra Columns & apply some miscellaneous formatting. This data is then forms the basis for my Pivot Table & Pivot Chart.
I found that you cannot filter the Pivot Table as the Fields do not contain items. You cannot use NA() or even "" (double-quotes) using Formula - this is because when using different kinds of aggregation within the Pivot Table the NA() cannot be SUMMED and hence the Series is not displayed. It also appears that setting a Cell to blank using "" (double-quotes) in a Formula has no effect either. I even tried #DIV/0! errors & then hiding the errors - no luck.
As a workaround, the "only" way I have found so far that works is to manually Filter my final data input for the Pivot Table by zero and then simply delete the values. Refreshing the Pivot Table then allows the Pivot Chart to hide the blanks and the data points will not be displayed. This means that any Series with intermittent values are displayed correctly.
Found a trick: in the data field use =if(x=0,na(),x/y). The graph will be fine but the table will look ugly (with #NAs). You can use conditional formatting on the table to set the font color as white when there is an error.
Voila!!!
There has got to be a way to do this, but I can't figure it out. It's easy to get a pivot table (and pivot chart) to display the top-10 based on subtotal values. But, I want the pivot table to display the 11th to 20th largest rows based on subtotal values. The problem is that the number of lines and columns in the pivot table are dynamic, based on ever-changing source data.
I've tried filtering the pivot table, but I can filter only for the top or bottom values, not for arbitrary LARGE() ranges in the middle. I've also tried to set up a field outside the pivot table that identifies the 11th-20th largest rows, but this field breaks if the number of rows or columns in the pivot table changes.
Are there any other ideas out there? Unfortunately, the PowerPivot or PowerQuery tools aren't available for me. Just vanilla Excel 2013.
Not a lot to go on but I'm guessing you have totals for rows and wish to filter these by rank. If so, maybe repeat this Sigma values entry and for this change Show Values As to Rank Largest to Smallest, then filter the column (not just the PT) containing the new row totals with Number Filters, Between..., is greater than or equal to 11, select And, is less than or equal to 20.
I am using an Excel 2010 pivot table to display data. I need the sub totals in most columns but some columns display percentages and totaling the percentages is not correct and displays confusing values. Is there any way I can choose which columns not to total.
It's hard to make sure I'm accurately addressing your question without more detail about your data, but I will provide a simple example.
Recommendation
I would suggest that you put all measures/values in the Values area of the Pivot Table, and not in the Row Labels. That way, you will not get Row sub-totals for values.
In order to address the non-additive totals and sub-totals for your percentages, I recommend that you remove the pre-calculated percentages from your Pivot Table Values and instead use a Calculated Field that is calculated within the Pivot Table itself from the base data, and will provide correct aggregate totals and sub-totals.
Example
See below:
Method
In order to create a Calculated Field using the Ribbon, select your Pivot Table, and then go to PivotTable Tools --> Options --> Fields, Items, & Sets --> Calculated Field.
Then, enter a name for the new Field (CalcPercentSoldUnits in my example below), as well as the formula definition for the field ( =UnitsSold /UnitsProduced in my example below). Click 'Add' to create the field and then 'OK' to exit the dialog box.
Now you have created a derived field not in your base data table, but in your Pivot Table, which can be used just like a normal field. You can also see that it will calculate totals and sub-totals correctly because instead of adding constants, it is calculating based on the sums of other constants from which the percentages are derived.
In some cases depending on how your data is structured, you may need to create a Calculated Item instead of a Calculated Field.
I hope this helps - if this doesn't address your situation, please post additional examples of your data and desired results. Thanks!
I have the same problem. Some Columns should be totaled, and others should not be. The only thing I figured out is to Grand Total all columns, then format those cells in the Grand total so that the font color matches the background color. This hides those selected Grand Totals from being viewed and/or printed. I experimented by expanding the Pivot Table rows, and the formatting for the selected cells followed into the new cell(s) and when I removed some of the rows, the formatting followed as well.
Wherever you don't want to show the total columns simply hide the column in the total section. I couldn't find any other way to do it.
Be careful about things like distinct/unique counts. This method helps with percentages, but you don't want to sum or average or otherwise aggregate unique counts. I would prefer to be able to just exclude a total for a single field but haven't found a method to do so.
I think I have a similar situation and a great answer for presentation purposes. I'm billing a customer for unbilled items; my pivot shows Qty, rate, and total missed revenue (qty*rate) for each month. Having a sum of Qty and Revenue makes sense for each month, but totaling the rates of the items doesn't. Pivot table and value options are an all-or-none solution. Rather, I just selected the totals I needed to hide and formatted them with white font color (blue for the grand total). My pivot table looks great now with this band-aid approach.
I was wondering if it's possible to filter a single pivot table column in excel.
In other words, when you summarize the data by count, that the data for a certain column is only counted if it has a certain value.
I know that it's possible to get these values by report filtering, but then I need a separate pivot table for the values I don't want to be filtered. Also, some values are 0 and thus are not displayed if report-filtered. Changing the option to display 0 values doesn't change anything. Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can add a filter to a pivot report by selecting a cell that borders the table (but is outside the pivot area) and choosing Filter from the Data tab.
To add a filter to just the Count Of column select the cell above and the cell containing the title and then choose the Filter option from the menus as shown...
To only count data if it fulfills a certain condition, I think you would need to add another column called OK to the source data, with a formula like IF(Status="OK",1,0). Then add this to the pivot table layout. [Note: there is a calculated field option for pivot tables but it only seems to work as you would expect if data is displayed - in this case status would need to be showing.]
That's not working on my Excel 365. Try selecting the 1st field on the first row then:
r-click
filter
value filters...
Left click on any row items drop-down carrot
Click 'value filter'
Choose value filter ('equals', 'greater than', etc)
Choose value field item you'd like it to filter on (eg 'count of days' from the image i can see in the original question)
You can also do it via the right click options as #kztd mentioned
