Is there a way I can use a slicer to filter multiple pivot with 3 different data sources. Thanks.
Just Double Click on the Slicer and then go to Options, then go PivotTableConnections, then select the check box which you want to connect and click on OK.
Here are some snaps.
I guess this covers your requirement :)

I'd like to add range slicers to an Excel worksheet for quick data filtering. However, I could not find such a control from Excel, and based on quick Googleing, it seems to be included in Power BI. I'd assume you can either get it from some (free) add-in or create it yourself.
Many thanks for anyone who can help on this!
Yes, you can add slicers in Excel. You just need to convert your data to a table first.
Select your data
Press ctrl + t or go to Insert -> Table.
Then select if your table has headers and click OK.
Now you will see the options to add slicers.
Still with your table selected (or any cell inside it), navigate to Insert -> Slicer.
Mark the column you want and it is done.
You can find a good explanation on this link. But fell free to reach out in the comments.
This, I hope, is a really simple question but it might not be possible.
In excel, I have used multiple filters in a pivot table, I now want to create a list of the options ticked from the various filters.
How can I create a list/copy all the ticked (or un-ticked) boxes. I have around 800 filters with about 250 boxes ticked.
The Manual approach:
Select a cell in the PivotTable. Then from the PivotTable Tools>Analyze tab use the Select icon to select the entire PivotTable. Copy it and paste it somewhere else. Drag every field out of it, leaving just the Customers field in it as a Rows field. There's your list.
If you add a slicer, and connect it to both PivotTables, then any changes to the Customer field in your original Pivot will flow through to this new one.
The VBA Approach:
See my UDF at https://superuser.com/questions/1254703/add-slicer-selections-to-sheet-in-a-list-excel-vba/1255885#1255885
And if you want a way to 'recall' a filter, then check out my answer here:
Pivotfields multiple filter
I have a long set of data, it can be grouped into general cathegories but I need to see the details as well.
I know how I can acheve this with a pivot table, but I am wondering if it is possible to get this done in some other way?
Note: I have well over 1000 rows in that table, whatever solution you proposu it should not require a lot of time for each row in the table.
Thank you
I found it in the "Data" Ribbon, there is section "Outline", it has a "Subtotal" button, select the table, and then click on "Subtotal", menu that pops ups will help you build in the "drill" capability to the table.
Excel powerview has this functionality, available in v2013.
I have data in powerpivot that I've modified and I'd like to place it into the workbook as a regular table (and not as a pivottable). I need this so that I can run use the table for some vlookups from another worksheet in the same workbook.
I found this answer: link which I will try and summarize with out cutting and pasting to much. This assumes you have powerpivot installed.
goto powerpivot and "import from and external source" the data you want to munge and bring back into the workbook as a table
Key here is to select the checkbox “Enable selection of multiple tables”.
when prompted at the "import data" window, pick pivot report (you won't really use this)
go back to powerpivot with the "Manage Data Model:
add a new measure below your data. something like: NRofOrders:=COUNTROWS(values(FactResellerSales[SalesOrderNumber]))+0
(you won't really use this but this seems to change the query to this table so that you can use DAX)
also add any columns that you want ( for me, this is want I wanted that I wanted to be reflected back in the workbook)
back to Excel, select the data tab, click on Existing connections and select Tables: and then pick a table from your query.
boom, you're done
(the link continues on and you should read that as it's interesting but at this point you should have powerpivot query with your modification as a table in your workbook)
The July 2014 update to Power Query (pushed out at the end of Aug) simplifies the answer. With the new Power Query Update you can pull the data into the Data Model with out having to also copy it to the Works sheet.
goto powerquery and import the data you want to munge. Use the option to just add it to the Data Model.
go back to excel and then go to powerpivot with the "Manage Data Model" button.
munge your data (add columns, whatever)
back to Excel, select the data tab, click on Existing connections and select Tables: and then pick a table from your query.
boom, you're done
In the PowerPivot window you can select the table, or elements of it, and then copy (nornal right click or ctrl +c) and paste that into your spreadsheet.
This works for reasonable amounts of data but if you try and do it with thousands of rows you may find that excel objects and falls over, based on my experience.
Vlookups kind of defeat the purpose of PowerPivot :-)
Found a great solution over on Mr Excel

If you are trying to get a PowerPivot table into Excel, then you can simply query it. The easiest way to set that up is to first create any pivot table based on you PowerPivot data. Then double-click the measures area to drill-through. This creates a table with a connection to your PowerPivot model. Then edit the command text by going to: Data > Connections > Properties > Definition tab > Command Text.
Change it to something like
Code:
EVALUATE Table1
I want to be able to select and reference all of the tabs in my excel spreadsheet (to get totals of everything), but the data source only allows one tab to be selected... is there a way to select and use the entire workbook in the pivot table?
Thank you!
You actually just have a data formatting problem. You're using tabs to separate devices by departments instead of simply creating a department field/column and putting everything in one tab. The data was likely delivered to you that way, but don't let the delivery format define the true working format of the data.
Combine everything in one tab, and then you'll be able to use the data in a pivot table just fine.
If you have more data than will fit in a tab, put it in a database such as MS Access, MS SQLServer or mySQL, and then tell excel to use the database as the pivot table source.
I think Jonathan M has the best answer, but here's a way to do it using SQL that I've used successfully.
I don't know any easy way of doing this, but you could write a macro to copy and paste all your existing sheets onto a single new sheet (assuming there's enough room on a single sheet).
In 2007 Multiple Consolidated Ranges isn't in the default pivot table window. You need to create your pivot table, click on it, hit Alt + D, then P. Click back to step one and you'll have the option for multiple consolidated ranges.
Select the data on any of the one sheet and hit Alt D > P. It will show you Step 1 of 3 for PivotTable Wizard. Now select Multiple Consolidation Ranges and hit Next.
Select and add different fields from different tabs and it will create a consolidated range for your PivotTable and then you can run your PivotTable based on data located on different tabs of sheet at the same time.
Hope it helps.
