I created list and when I add values in particular field it does not display information adequately. The column width is too small. It barely fits one or two words maximum. So I want to widen the size of columns. can I do this in sharepoint 365?
You could just click the border of the column, then drag it to adjust the width of the column.

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:
How can I remove the heading from a grouped pivot table in Excel?
Thanks
One way out is to adjust the width of the first column to make it match the other columns and then disable the ‘autofit’ feature using the pivot table options. There’s another option that you can use – simply hide them.
Click on anywhere within the pivot table. Then from the ribbon, pick up the ‘options’ tab and then click the ‘Field Headers’ button. A single click does the trick !
The pivot table appears far neater than it did earlier and as you can see, all the columns are now equally spaced out automatically. If you need to sort or hide values, you can turn them right back on.
In a comment regarding Hakan's answer, OP has clarified that they wish to remove the Group Headings.
The structure that appears to be defined in the Question shows that the 'Month' data is being grouped by the 'Year' data -> Year (1999) is a Group, Month (Jan) is a Sub-Group of the Year Group.
To remove the Group Headings, the 'Years' Row will need to removed from the highlighted "Rows" Field highlighted below.
As a result of doing this, only 12 rows will exist in the Pivot Table, ranging from January to December.
PivotTable Fields
To clarify, the Heading Text cannot solely be deleted as this is necessary for grouping Data. Grouping is mandatory for seperating data in Pivot Tables and there's no way to remove a group without affecting the rest of the PivotTable.
Can't remove the group headings as far as I know.
What I've done before to hide them:
right-click the group name
Expand/Collapse > Collapse Entire Field
highlight all the heading rows
change the font color to white, or whatever color your group heading column is so that it appears gone
right-click the group name again
Expand/Collapse > Expand Entire Field
Now it will look something like this:
white-out group headings
I want to make a bar chart in SSRS and my table contains multiple columns. One column contains large values over 100 while the others contain values between 1 and 10. The other columns are pressed by the large columns. I multiplied the other columns values by 10 but I am not sure if this is the right way to make them visible. Please suggest.
If you can get away with multiplying one value by a factor then it makes some sense to do this. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, I would consider having the larger values as columns and then the smaller values as a marker on the secondary axis. A step by step guide to do this is below, assuming you have the current column chart created.
Right-click on one of the columns of the smaller valued data set on the chart
Select Change Series Chart Type.. and change it to a line graph
Click on the new created line
On the Format tab, under the Current Selection grouping, click Format Selection.
In the Format Data Series dialog box, on the Series Options tab, select Secondary Axis
Still within the Format Data Series dialog box, on the Marker Options tab, select a style of marker you would like to use, as well as the fill of the marker on the Marker Fill tab
Under the Line Color tab select No line
Click Close in the corner of the dialog box
This will create a chart similar to the below.
For your requirement, I think it's better to use scale break to make a better view.

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 have an SSAS 2008 cube that I'm connecting to from Excel 2010.
The cube works great, however some users have a business need to filter by a measure. In Excel when you drag a measure to 'Report Filter' in the PivotTable Field list you get an error.
Say for example you have a measure that is the Total Time To Make Something. Some users may only be interested in seeing data where that measure is greater than or less than some number of minutes.
Is there a way to accomplish this in Excel without modifying the cube in SSAS?
Thanks for any help on this!
Try this:
Drag measure to Values.
Drag dimension attribute to either rows or columns.
Assuming you drag dimension to rows, you'll see a drop down on the
cell where it says "Row Labels".
Click on the drop down and select Value Filters and choose the
filter you want.
Finally enter the filter criteria and click ok.
You can filter using measures by using the Value Filters option instead of Value Label Filters. Label filters works for dimensions and Value filter is for measures.
