I am using powerpivot to create some metrics. On one pivot table, I want to show hires, terms and actives and then turnover % for each month.
I have the Hires, Terms & Actives powerpivot data working, however I do not know how I can add the turnover calculation.
Is there a way to insert a new column to a pivot table and run a simple division calculation in it?
*tried posting image of my data, not sure why site will not post image for me
one line of of table would look like such
Division | Hires | Actives | Terms | Turnover
Corporate | 5 | 150 | 3 | (terms/actives)
You can do this with the following measures:
SumActives:=
SUM(<fact table>[Actives])
SumTerms:=
SUM(<fact table>[Terms])
Turnover:=
[SumActives] / [SumTerms]
Adding a measure to a Power Pivot model.
Upon researching I found this thread on MrExcel that solved my question!
First create a measure
ValueSum:=SUM(Table1[Value])
then create a measures that takes the average of the monthly totals of the previous measure.
=AVERAGEX(VALUES(Table1[Month]),[ValueSum])

I have an Excel data that shows the Sales of each of the Sales Reps. So I want to see the total for each rep per month which is easily doable with a PivotTable. Now I want the Pivot Table to only show the Top 5 per month so say I have 2 months in the coverage, I will see 10 names in total.
The Top filter in Pivot Tables computes for the Top for the entire data set and not for each category. Or am I missing something? Is it possible?
Thanks a lot for your responses.
You can make a measure if you connect your data to the datemodel and use PowerPivot
Rigth click on table to add Measure
That will enable you to use DAX i Excel (used in Power BI) And by using DAX you can make a top 5 per categori

I have a pivot table grouping by month and calculating the average of the values.
Before grouping, a row of the table would look like that:
|1May|2May|3May|4May|5May|
XX| 10 | | 10 | | 10 |
Note that, for the specific row, data are missing for 2May and 4May.
Once I group this selection, the average for XX will be 10.
My desired result would've been 6 instead, that is (10+0+10+0+10)/5.
Is there a way to do it, without installing software and without altering/adding columns to the input table?
The input data (which the pivot is based on) needs to have zeroes, not just blank cells
I'm attempting to calculate periods of out of stock for a fleet of rental equipment that has been in service for the past few years. I'm having trouble creating a sumif calculated field that sums units by date if date is between start and finish. My data looks like this:
Calendar |Start |Finish |Product |Units
2015-12-06|2015-12-6|2015-12-6 |Snowshoes |2
2015-12-07|2015-12-6|2015-12-7 |Snowshoes |1
Calendar - is a helper column I've added. It's sequential dates from launch to the present
Start - is the start Date of a rental booking
Finish - end date of the rental booking
Product - What's being rented
Units - How many are rented for that booking
I'd like the pivot table to look like:
Date | Snowshoes | Tent ... etc
2015-12-06 | 3 |
2015-12-07 | 1 |
I'm having a hard time setting up calculated field that will sum units if date is between start and finish, I keep getting formula errors.
Here's the formula I'm attempting to use to create a calculated field:
= sumifs( Units ,Start,">= Calendar" , Finish,"<= Calendar")
Is this even the best way to go about solving this problem? Is my formula the issue or is the entire approach flawed?
Adding screenshots:
From the data you have in the screenshots, this is what I came up.
The formula to use in column G:
=SUMIFS($E$2:$E$29,$A$2:$A$29,"<="&F2,$B$2:$B$29,">="&$F2)
The formula to use in column H (BTW, this is just for your reference. You can use either one of them):
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$29<=F2),--($B$2:$B$29>=F2),$E$2:$E$29)
From here, I created a Pivot Table like this:
Hopefully this can help you. But definitely let me know if I miss anything from your question.
I'm having an issue with Excel to which I can't find an accurate solution online.
I have this table:
PERSON | DATE | SIZE
==========================
Matt | 1-10 | 90.1
Jane | 1-10 | 71.3
Matt | 1-11 | 90.0
Jane | 1-11 | 71.0
Matt | 1-12 | 89.6
Jane | 1-13 | 70.2
And so on...
The thing is that this is the best solution for inputting this kind of data. I can't have two different tables, one for each person involved, because more people will probably be involved later on, and they all should be included in the same table.
As you can see, the idea is to monitor their weights. And this would be better achieved visually by a line graph that can tell each person what their progress is.
To this end, I would like to set up one graph that shows each person's progress individually as a different line. Like this:
I was wondering if there was any way of having Excel automatically build this line graph using this table but ordering values according to if cell X has value....
Not being able to find that, I also tried to set up an invisible table that would gather each set in its own column. For that, I was thinking of using an IF statement but I can't seem to find a way of getting that to populate a separate table, row by row, with the data from the original table. On the Internet I can only find how to add up all the values in a certain cell if another certain cell has X value.
I was wondering if anyone out there could give me a hand with this. Thanks in advance!
I would use a pivot table and pivot chart to accomplish this.
Insert a pivot table, select your entire data range (including headers).
Select Person, Date, and Size in the field list.
Under pivot table options select pivot chart and choose your desired chart type.
Move Person to Legend Fields, Date to Axis Fields, and Size to Values.
Right click the pivot table and go to PivotTable Options
Under "For empty cells show: " write N/A (this will let Excel ignore missing dates)
Here is an example of the blank values.
Let me know if any further clarification is needed.
I'm working on a Powerpivot Pivot Table listing sales for my company. The table looks like this:
Row Label: Client Name
Column Label: Year
Values: Sales Amount
So something like this (columns are Client Name, 2014, 2013, 2012)
Client 1 | $10,000 | $15,000 | $20,000
Client 2 | $15,000 | $12,000 | $30,000
I'd like the table and the years to be the same but I want to show the top 25 customers only for year 2014. If I tell it to take top 25 by customer sales it gives me top 25 by total sales given all the filters. How can I do this?
Master_cylinder,
after thinking about this I suggest creating separates calculated measures (Excel 2010, in 2013 it's Calculated Fields) for each year that will allow easy filtering. It might be tricky if you have way to many years, but this way you can be sure the results are filtered exactly how you need to:
So for each year, create this simple measure:
=CALCULATE([Sum of Sales], Sales[Year]=2014)
For other years, simple change the filter parameter at the end - replace 2014 with different years. Than drag all the measures on the table, so that you will get something like this:
When you are done, simple filter the table using regular filter option and pick those settings:
This will get you the results you need.
PS: This is the powerpivot table structure that I was working with, and link to my source file in Excel (2010):
