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.

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.
I am a newbie with Pivot tables. Received a sheet from client with an existing pivot table to analyze.
The pivot table targets a power-query that further targets a sql database.
As shown in image below, although pivot-table has a field named "Months", however the source power-query lacks any such column.
I thought it would be a calculated column added to pivot-table, but i created a separate pivot-table anew, and it gets the same field "Months" to start with.
Can you please help me understand where this field might be coming from?
Excel Pivot Tables can automatically group dates by Year, Quarter, Month, Date.
You can choose to ungroup this date field.
In Excel 2013, I have one table "Table1" in worksheet "Data" and I have a dozen pivot tables in another worksheet named "PivotTable". When I created the pivot tables I was unaware of the checkbox "Add this data to the data model". Is there a way to add all my existing pivot tables to the data model after-the-fact?
If you go to the existing pivot table, below the list of fields you have available, there should be a line that says More Tables.... Click on that and it'll remake your pivot table in a new tab with that data model option checked. You do lose your number formatting, but it sure beats remaking the whole stupid thing!
On excel 2007, in one sheet i have 2 pivot tables created by the first image table below
and i have create two pivot tables in the same worksheet as you can see in the second image below, and i have choose all stores, now i know i can use option Show Report Filtered pages with the field stores if i have one pivot table, but can i do the same with 2 pivot tables simultaneously?
For example to choose both pivot tables and create with Show Report Filtered pages new sheets like in the third image but with both tables in it?
If there is a way with formula,functions any solution not with VBA or macro.
If you upgrade to excel 2010, you'll be able to use Slicers for that purpose. In Excel 2007, you will have to use macros to achieve a similar effect.
I have used Power Pivot to create some calculated fields from a table of data.
Then I use the modified table, with the calculated fields to create some pivot charts back on the excel workbook.
In the same way I linked the original dataset (excel table) to Power Pivot, I would like to link the table in powerpivot with the calculated fields back to excel. Is this possible?
yoshiserry, the best way to share PowerPivot stuff is PowerView (Excel 2013). If you want to share just the table, regular Excel file should be fine -- people even without PowerPivot installed will be able to work with it (with some limitations).
