In the original data source, I created a new calculated column (Insert > Calculated Column).
When I go to create a pivot table (Insert > Transformation), the new calculated column does not appear as a field I can select. How do I create a pivot table with this new calculated column that I added? Thanks!
This isn't doable. The reason is the calculated column is based off the data source and is re-calculated any time the data is refreshed, updated, etc at runtime... that means when the data is loaded from the source, the calculated column is created. Your transformation can't be based off this at runtime. What you can do, is insert a transformation and then create a calculated column after the transformation.
If are ok with not editing the created column, you can use option of "Freeze Column". You get this button when you create a new column on bottom right.

As in the image of Cross table, i want to show "Protocol Status" column values in each row(as of now its merged) . How to unmerge it to show in all rows rather then the single one?
The grouping cannot be undone but is create a new table based off your underlying data and pivot the table to create a table so you can display as a table rather than a cross table.
Or add Protocol Status to your axis First([Protocol Status]) and make your first column that is grouped hidden by making the column width 0.
I would like to see the sum of data in columns and subtraction in grand totals in an Excel pivot table based on Power Pivot, e.g. in the column "Suma koĊcowa" I would like to see subtraction A-B instead of sum.
Thanks for help!

Here you go for a option of pivot from table of data.
The fields which you have in the tables will converted as grouped for same Column when makes pivot table.
Hence the calculated Item doesn't work. So added "Month" Column by Using Formula of =Text(value,"MMM'YY"). The created the pivot table and done manual calculation.
1.Added Month Column In Table :
2.Crating new pivot table based the Table data:
3.Pivot Table Created and Filed assigned based on required format:
4.Insert Calculated Item From analyze Tab:
5.Working on calculation Item option:
In The Insert Calculated Item View Type Name manually as
what you need the field header ex. Subs
The In The Formula Tab Type = (A-B) else double click on the
A field and the type "-" manually then double click on B
Then Click Add then the field "Subs" will be added In Pivot Table.
6."Subs" Field added in pivot and removing Grand Total From Pivot Table:
7.Final view of Pivot with "Subs" field from table of Raw Data:

way. The adding filed
item not possible by making your own pivot style which is in your question image,
due to the Data filed is in Group option.
So need to follow the steps which i have mentioned over above.
Please let know though comments if need any more clarification.
I have a spreadsheet with one BIG table in the top half, and corresponding "mini tables" in the bottom half. Each time I add a new column to the BIG table, I need a new "mini table" to be automatically added below. Can anyone help me with a VBA code that will do this? In my sample, let's say that column F was the last column in the BIG table. When I add column G, I need the "mini table" that begins in cell A 29 to be automatically created. Is this even possible?
I have a cube with two measure(count of patients) and (distinct count of visits) , and various dimension(date,program,region,etc), when I browse the cube data from excel, I can choose all the dimensions in the slicer, but my question is is there anyway i can choose the measures in the slicer? From what I see, when I insert a slicer I only get to pick the dimesnions
Any help would be appreciated
I'm not sure of a way around using PowerPivot to do this, short of complicated VBA scripts.
To do it with PowerPivot:
Create a new table with two columns. Column 1 contains the name of your measures and column 2 contains an index for each. e.g.
and add this to the Data Model (but don't create any relationships to any other tables).
Create a new measure with a SWITCH function that has the same relationship between the measures and their values in the Index column, e.g.
[Chosen Measure]:=SWITCH(TRUE, MIN(MeasureTable[Index])=1, [DistinctPatients], MIN(MeasureTable[Index])=2,[DistinctDates])
Add the new measure to the values section of the pivot table and add the
Measure column from your new table to BOTH a slicer AND the column headings in the pivot table and remove the row and column totals.
I have a data set where one column (job type) has 4 values in it (A,B,C,D). I am using that column as a slicer in a pivot table. However I would like to modify this slicer to only have two options (X,Y) where X=A+B and Y=C+D. I know I could create a new column in the raw data but I am trying to avoid this as the raw data source is already highly manipulated through several dozen high complexity mods.
Apologies if this isn't clear!
This is tested on Excel 2010.
I'm assuming that you have your pivot table setup with the items you want to slice as the row labels.
Select the "A" label, ctrl click the "B" label, and then right click, selecting "Group". Do the same thing for the "C" and "D" entries. You will notice a new field in the Field List and in the Row Labels section.
Clean up by changing the name of the new label, and the new groups.
Drag it out of the Row Labels area. Your pivot table should look like it did before, but with a new field available. Insert a slicer, using that field as the selection field.
