I have following table configuration in my Excel sheet (let's say that it's some kind of shop inventory):
Product | Type | Producer | Cost per unit
Apple | fruit | fruitCo | 5,00
Apple | fruit | bananaCo | 6,00
Banana | fruit | bananaCo | 4,00
T-shirt | clothes | clothsCo | 60,00
Etc.
And I've created a PivotTable from following data, that groups it by:
Filters: Producer, Type
Columns: Product
Rows: <empty>
Values: Sum of Cost
I've got two filters, Producer and Type. When I select a Producer from list (f.e bananaCo), the second filter shows me every kind of Type, even those that are not present in the already selected Producer filtering. Is there any way to make this filtering nested, so when I choose a Producer, only the types of product distributed by the selected producer appear in the Type filter list?
Not sure if this is the problem of not but try clicking on the Product field in the pivot and clicking the field settings button from the ribbon (under Options, Active Field) then Layout & Print in the window that appears.
Make sure Show items with no data is deselected.

Unlike the other questions posted with this topic, my criteria are not simple comparators. I want a dropdown list that includes all values in one named table excluding those values that meet another criteria. For instance a table includes employee names in one column and vacation dates in another column. I want the data validation to allow a list of employees who are not on vacation for a variable date drawn from another cell. The general method seems to be to create additional tables where the secondary criteria (in this case date) is the column header populated by items from the first list that satisfy some criteria. It seems impractical to create 365 tables named for each date and populated by rows of employees from the first table that have not requested that date off. Is there another way to accomplish this?
Sample Data:
| Employee| Vacation Dates | | work on 1/26/20 |
_____________________________ ___________________
| Bob | 1/26/20, 1/27/20| | <allow only |
| Mike | 2/20/20, 2/21/20| | Mike or Cindy> |
| Cindy | 2/20/20, 1/28/20|
Had to transpose my thinking. Rather than a table for each date, I can have a vacation table for each employee. The validation formula has to be a custom validation rather than a list, so no drop down selection list is available, but it will work. Error message also cannot discriminate which criteria is being violated -- name not on employee list versus name from employee list who is on vacation. Would be great if validation worked like conditional formatting with different rules applied in sequence.
| Employee| Bob | Mike | Cindy | | 1/26/20 |
____________________________________| ___________
| Bob |1/26/20| 2/20/20 |2/20/20| | |
| Mike |1/27/20| 2/21/20 |1/28/20| | |
| Cindy |
The validation formula for the "1/26/20" column (F in the scheme above) would be
=AND(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$4,F2)>0,COUNTIF(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2,MATCH(F2,$B$1:$D$1,0)+1)):INDIRECT(ADDRESS(3,MATCH(G2,$B$1:$D$1,0)+1)),F1)<1)
I have two tables.
An Issue table
+----+-------+
| ID | Name |
+----+-------+
| 1 | task1 |
| 2 | task2 |
| 3 | task3 |
+----+-------+
And table that extends issue by custom fields
+----+---------+------------+------------+
| ID | issueId | customName | val |
+----+---------+------------+------------+
| 1 | 1 | age | 22 |
| 2 | 1 | speed | 56kmph |
| 3 | 1 | startDate | 03.03.2015 |
+----+---------+------------+------------+
Problem in PowerPivot is that, when I select Issue as a Row, customField as Columns and val as a Value at place of Value Excel automatically aggregate using "Count of Value" which shows fields count, and for speed, startDate etc. excel shows "1", not the propper val of it.
Is it possible to force powerPivot to show value by its column name?
If you don't mind using Power Query, you can get to this fairly easily:
Here's how:
1. Add your tables as sources in Power Query. In Excel 2016, you can do that by clicking on a table, then on Data -> From Table. This will open Power Query with your selected table loaded. The table will be listed under Queries, on the left side of the screen.
Once you've loaded your first table as a source. Probably the simplest way to add the next one (by way of explanation anyhow) is to click File -> Close and Load, and do what you did previously, this time for the second source.
(When you Close and Load, a new tab will be created in your workbook, with the results of the new Query...which right now would just look like a duplicate of your original source table.)
2. Merge (join) your two queries.
a. Click on your Issues query, in the queries list on the left side of your screen. That will open the Issues query.
b. Click Home -> Merge Queries (drop-down) -> Merge Queries as New.
c. Fill in the dialog window like below and click OK. Make sure to select the columns you want to match on--highlighted in green here. This will create a new query, most likely named Merge. (Of course, you would use the names of your tables, instead of Issues and Extended.)
Your new query will look something like this:
d. Click on the button to expand the tables in the column of tables and make selections, like these, from the drop-down window and click OK.
You'll get a table something like this:
3. Pivot your customName column.
a. You can't pivot a column with nulls, so select the customName column, then Transform -> Replace Values, and enter these settings in the dialog window that pops up, then click OK (the Replace With box is left empty):
b. Select the customName column then Transform -> Pivot Column. Fill in the dialog window that pops up like this, below, and click OK.
4. Clean up. Select all the columns you want to keep, then click Home -> Remove Columns (drop-down) -> Remove Other Columns:
You'll end up with something like this:
When you Close and Load, you'll get a new tab with the final table in it.
I have a table of data, I want to group this data and then sort the groups of rows in a custom way.
Example:
I have a table of data like this:
key | group
-------------
BC.AA | BC
AA.AA | AA
CC.DE | CC
AA.CD | AA
And a list of groups like this
group | no. of items
-------------------
BC | 1
CC | 1
AA | 2
How do I create a new table where the rows of the first table are grouped and ordered in the same way the second table is ordered. So like this:
key | group
-------------
BC.AA | BC
CC.DE | CC
AA.CD | AA
AA.AA | AA
I like to do this with excel formulas, so it updates automatically when the original table is changed. I hope to avoid using macros, but I could write a custom excel worksheet formula.
You could add a column to your first table of =MATCH(B1, GroupSheet!A:A), which will just return the corresponding row in GroupSheet that matches your group column, and sort by that.
You can do this in Excel 2010 by selecting the data you want to sort, going to the Data tab, clicking the Sort icon and then choosing Custom List... under Order. This will be fine for small sorts, but you might need something more powerful for longer lists...
I have a pivot table fed from a MySQL view. Each returned row is basically an instantiation of "a person, with a role, at a venue, on a date". The each cell then shows count of person (lets call it person_id).
When you pivot this in excel, you get a nice table of the form:
| Dates -->
--------------------------
Venue |
Role | -count of person-
This makes a lot of sense, and the end user likes this format BUT the requirement has changed to group the columns (date) into a week.
When you group them in the normal way, this count is then applied in columns as well. This is, of course, logical behaviour, but what I actually want is max() of the original count().
So the question: Does anyone know how to have cells count(), but the grouping perform a max()?
To illustrate this, imagine the columns for a week. Then imaging the max() grouped as a week, giving:
Old:
| M | T | W | T | F | S | S ||
--------------------------------------- .... for several weeks
Venue X |
Role Y| 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 ||
New (grouped by week)
| Week 1 | ...
---------------------------
Venue X |
Role Y| 3 | ...
I'm not on my pc, but the steps below should be broadly correct:
You should be able to right click on the date field on pivot table and select group.
Then highlight week, you may have to select year also.
Lastly right click on the count data you already have and expand the summarise by, and select max.
Is there an equivalent of GROUP BY statement in a Lotus Notes view?
Currently my table is laid out like this:
| JOB # | SHIP DATE 1 | MODULE 1 | SHIP DATE 2 | MODULE 2 |
| 111 | APRIL 2013 | 123-XYZ | APRIL 2013 | 654-ABC |
to this (/ stands for a twistie):
\/|SHIP DATES|
|MODULE 1|
|MODULE 2|
The final output would look something like:
\/|April 2013|
123-XYZ (this record would be from MODULE 1)
654-ABC (this record would be from MODULE 2)
\/|June 2013|
876-DEF (this record is from MODULE 1, since there is no ship date for MODULE 2 in this month/year only one job appears)
Is there any way I could merge the ship date columns together?
Categorization of views is the closest equivalent to "Group by" in a Notes view. So you're on the right track using a categorized view (i.e. the categories are the rows at the twistie level)
You should be able to achieve this using the setting "Show multiple values as separate entries" in your view. Set the Module column's formula to be
Module1:Module2
That means the value of that column is a multi-value list with two entries, the value of module1 and the value of module2.
For your categorized column formula, you should be able to use
#Unique(ShipDate1:ShipDate2);
to get the column to show the ship dates.
In the Ship Dates column you can "merge" the two fields by combining them with a colon. So if the two fields are called ShipDate1 and ShipDate2 the column formula is:
ShipDate1:ShipDate2
You also have to mark this property on the column:
