I have the following issue. I have large dataset with product codes, dates at which they are shipped and their tranport method.
I would like to create a pivot of the product code on the left and their transport method on the top. But as variable I would the pivot to only present a range of dates. These dates are presented in the form yyyyww. (example: from 201420 to 201505).
I have a column where each of the individual year and weeknumber as presented, so they could be looked up from there. This also allows it to be a variable.
How can I get this pivot to present this information between a date range?
In Excel 2010 and later you can insert a slicer for any field in the data source and click the values in the slicer that you want to include in the pivot table. Shift click to select contiguous slicer values, Ctrl-click to pick non-contiguous slicer items.
As an alternative to slicers, you can drag the desired filter columns into the filter pane.
The screenshot shows the column names in the filter pane and how the filters appear above the pivot table. It also shows slicers to the right of the pivot table. A pivot table in Excel 2010 and later can have both filters and slicers. Earlier versions can only have filters.
The following screenshot shows what happens when values have been clicked on the slicers. These selected slicer values are mirrored in the filter settings (and vice versa). So, a slicer is just a user-friendly way to select one or more filters for the pivot table.
Please note that you would normally only use one method: either slicer OR filters. Choose the one that you like most.

I have this table:
Is it possible to make a pivot table to present the information like this?:
Thanks!
Sure it's possible. As shown in your example, you just need to change the special character "✔️" by the number 1 using "ctrl + f". Then insert a Pivot Table with the data. And finally, create a new column named TOTAL and add the "=sum()" formula to count the items from each row. Something like that:
You are going to need to move this data from the word doc you are using into an Excel worksheet, in order to generate a pivot table.
format your data like this in Excel
To start out creating a pivot table, make sure that all rows and columns are selected and record (row) must not be obscure or elusive and must be making sense. Navigate to Insert tab, click PivotTable.
You will reach Create Pivot Table dialog box. Excel fills in data range from first to last selected columns and rows. You can also specify any external data source to be used. Finally choose worksheet to save the pivot table report.
The pivot table should appear. You can then populate this table with data fields which will pop up on the right hand side. Enable the fields you wish to compare in the pivot table report.
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:

I have a pivot table from multiple tables. When I double-click my pivot table data, it produces a copy of the row(s) that data came from. Is there a way for me to make adjustments aka change the values of cells in these rows, and have it only adjust the pivot table?
What I'm mainly looking for is an easy way of viewing the data through the pivot table, and adjusting it without it necessarily affecting the source tables. Right now when I adjust a row produced by the pivot table, none of the values in the actual pivot table get updated.
What about producing a new PivotTable from the drilldown sheet that got produced when you double-clicked the old PivotTable?
That's about as close as you're going to get, I'm afraid.
The pivot table is a visualization tool only. It summarizes that data that you input into the pivot table, and gives you a visual output.
If you want to change that visual output, you have to copy the relevant part of the pivot table to another area (different cell or sheet, doesn't matter). Then, you can edit that table.
Is there anyway to show information without calculating anything in a pivot table in excel?
For example, I've got a pivot table with a number of invoices and it shows which products are billed in the invoices. I only want it to show the invoice date to the right of the invoice number, without summing it nor counting it or anything, I only want the information to be shown. The invoice date is in another column in the base sheet, by the way.
Thanks!
Select a cell in the Pivot Table, then on the Pivot Tools Design ribbon select Report Layout > Show in Tabular Form.
In Excel 2010 the Compact Form was introduced for pivot tables and all pivot tables default to Compact Form, where the row fields are indented and appear in the same column.
The screenshot shows the difference between compact form on the left and tabular form on the right.
Many people don't like the default compact form. If you would like to see this behavior changed, please place a vote in the suggestion at Excel Uservoice here: https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304921-excel-for-windows-desktop-application/suggestions/10535790-allow-users-to-set-choose-defaults-via-settings
I have 6 pivot-charts on many worksheets (each worksheet corresponding to different individuals), all pivot-tables have a Month filter. Instead of clicking on each individual filter to update the pivot-table (and corresponding pivot-chart). Is there a way of creating a 'master' filter button so that all filters are updated?
Let me know if you require further information.
You can accomplish this by using a slicer. Slicers are similar to filters, but look a little different and can be associated with multiple pivot tables. This means you might want to make a "front page" or similar area with the slicer on it so it is obvious that the one slicer controls the month filter for all pivot tables.
You just insert the slicer on the page, then click on Report Connections and connect it to each pivot table.
