I know this is something very simple, but I can't remember how I completed this the last time. I have a pivot table and an associated pivot chart. The table/chart has an axis field that counts the number of entries from a certain column. I'd like to filter out single entries so they're not displayed in my pivot chart. I'm able to add a filter to the pivot table and only have it show values that are greater than 1, but these changes aren't reflected in the chart. Can anyone help me out? I know this is a quick fix, but for some reason can't figure it out. Thanks.

Ugh. As you can see, my pivot table has a problem - I probably don't understand pivot tables very well in that case.
I want the pivot table to state "Months" in the first column and not "Row Labels".
Also, I'd like to have a horizontal line appear at an exact percentage in my chart. How would I do that?
Please help.
I have three fields in my pivot table. Each field is connected to one column in my data sheet.
The goal is to group the 0-30 data (0-30 $ Change),and (0-30 % Change) into one field, and then a slicer with 0-30 as one of the options out of 60-90, 90-120.
Currently I have a combined Pivot Table that looks like this:
Again the goal is to make one slicer that would have the 0-30 data as one option in the slicer, the 30-60 data as one option in the slicer and so on...any help would be appreciated :)
With PIVOT functionality and some formulas my approach would be to concatenate 0-30 data with 0-30 $ Change and 0-30 % Change in one column in the source and then present it in the pivot ROWs area. Here is how it looks wiht some sample data:
The second image is how the modified source looks like with the formulas used in the top row with yellow ready to be copied down:
If questions, please do let me know.
Are you looking to 'switch out' the values fields depending on what someone selects in the Slicer? If so, check out my answer at Converting multiple variables into values with excel pivot tables or power pivot
Basically, youreate a new PivotTable from a data source that contains nothing but the options that you want to show up in the slicer. i.e. '0-30', '30-60' etc. Create a slicer for that PivotTable, and when a user clicks on it, catch the resulting PivotTable_Update event and use it to change which fields shows up in your existing master PivotTable.
See the other thread for more on how to do this.
Gold star for whoever solves this! :)
I have a pivot table that has data from various attributes attached to unique ID numbers from an OLAP cube report. When I select ID# as a pivot field and all the corresponding attributes ie: Name,age,etc I end up getting about 10k ID's with 10k corresponding attribute values. I have a list of 3k ID#'s which I want to filter my report by. What is the best way to do this?
Simple example: Pivot table displays ID# 1,2,3,4,5 and corresponding attributes such as name,age,etc
I want to filter ID#'s from a column of values I have in another worksheet for example the column in other worksheet would have ID#'s 1,2,3 (Which in theory would omit values 4 and 5 from pivot)
(Keep in mind I am dealing with thousands of rows this example is made simple just for explanation)
I thought a VBA slicer combo might work, but I have no clue how to set up a slicer so when it is created it has only values selected from a column of values.
In my example VBA slicer will have ID#'s 1,2,3 selected upon creation or an easy way to select multiple ID#s from a list or something as I can't feasibly click through 3k values
Possible Solutions I Brainstormed
I was also thinking maybe just a VLOOKUP or something that will pull ID#'s against the column and also bring all corresponding attributes? The thing is I like the cube report being dynamic and updating with the slicer.
I then also thought to create a slicer based off of another pivot table which is composed simply of a header of ID#'s and lists ID# 1,2,3 I created in another worksheet and try and use that simple slicer against the OLAP cube, but the issue is the slicers have different connections and they can't overlap. :(
Any and all help is much appreciated!!! :)
I have a pivot table from a database that looks something like this:
Person A Person B Person C
Task A 1 3
Task B 1 2
Task C 2 1.5 1
The number is time spent on a task. If it's blank, the person didn't work on that task.
I would like to make a pie chart for each Person from the pivot table for time spent on each task, not including tasks where the cell is blank. I've tried adding various flavours of pie charts but it only ever creates the chart on the first column of the table. And when it does that, it seems to include empty cells in its key (though obviously not on the pie).
Does anyone know anything about this?
Generally, the Pivot Chart will attempt to plot whatever is in the Pivot Table (including all column titles). I think the easiest way to deal with this is to add a Slicer so that you can select the Person and have it filter the data for you. Alternatively, you can filter the Pivot Table on your own, but the Slicer is quite clean in this application.
I don't think it is possible to get multiple pie charts inside a single chart. You could use the doughnut plot if you want to see all columns plotted at once. Visually, that chart is horrible to interpret though.
Here is something similar to your data with the Slicer in place for person B. Note that the legend cleans up also since the missing keys have been filtered out of the Pivot Table itself.
I have Pivot table with one Axis field (containing 13 elements 0-12) and two Values series. One of the series (A) has 13 values. The other series (B) has only 3 elements.
When I make a pivot table, I'm able to hide the zero values using this explanation :
Excel 2010: Hide 0 values in Pivot
However when I make a pivot chart (line chart) the series B keep showing zero (or a line dropping to the x-axis). I want the line of the series B to stop when there are no values (the line should be floating on the chart).
Anyone has an idea how to achieve this ?
I faced a similar issue where the Series drops down to Zero.
I have a Pivot Chart linked to a Pivot Table with multiple Series for 7 different Key Figures & other Fields. I pick up my source data from BEx/BI using Formula to bring in some extra Columns & apply some miscellaneous formatting. This data is then forms the basis for my Pivot Table & Pivot Chart.
I found that you cannot filter the Pivot Table as the Fields do not contain items. You cannot use NA() or even "" (double-quotes) using Formula - this is because when using different kinds of aggregation within the Pivot Table the NA() cannot be SUMMED and hence the Series is not displayed. It also appears that setting a Cell to blank using "" (double-quotes) in a Formula has no effect either. I even tried #DIV/0! errors & then hiding the errors - no luck.
As a workaround, the "only" way I have found so far that works is to manually Filter my final data input for the Pivot Table by zero and then simply delete the values. Refreshing the Pivot Table then allows the Pivot Chart to hide the blanks and the data points will not be displayed. This means that any Series with intermittent values are displayed correctly.
Found a trick: in the data field use =if(x=0,na(),x/y). The graph will be fine but the table will look ugly (with #NAs). You can use conditional formatting on the table to set the font color as white when there is an error.
Voila!!!
