Am just playing around with PowerPivot in Office 2013.
When i create model in PowerPivot it looks as below (with three tables)
and when i try to analyze the data in PivotTable it comes up as
it says Table1, Table2 instead Reseller Details, Calendar.
This works fine in office 2010 powerpivot it picks right table names.
Any clues?
Not sure why they changed it but I can't imagine it was on purpose.
If you are dead set on showing the model table name in the field list (and why wouldn't you be) then you need to change the name of the excel table itself as well which you can do in the 'Design' tab which appears when you are in the table itself.
Not ideal but at least there is a work around.

I want to generate new entries as two tables say how.
It could be like a vlookup but I need more than one "result entry" per "original entry"
I would like to know if there is a single formula, or I should use macros or maybe even python.
I really also didn't know how to search this, maybe a link would be useful.
This example will explain better than me what I need.
Example:
Table 1. SALES
Table 2. Tells which primary materials are used in each product (product components)
Result table: Tells the amount of primary materials by product and client
You could use Excel Power Query if you are looking to keep things simple.
We use Office 365 in our office and we frequently use Power Query for things like this.
I tossed your data into two tables and configured the power query to output the aggregated data per client, per material.
The output will be updated if you modify the tables and click the refresh button on the data tab.
Excel example (using Office 365)
Am converting an old Excel 2003 workbook to 2013. It has a pivottable which connects to an SQL Server table using OLAP query, and I've had to completely redo the PivotTable using an ODBC DSN to the data source, because the OLAP thing isn't working in 2013 for some reason, possible a Citrix issue.
I've converted the workbook to 2013 format and created a new pivot table from the same data source, but cannot get it to look right.
See the table created in 2003 versus 2013 in the link below
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MPOqE4Mj68flBz63yI7vbL6gXmMP1_dC7DPQ0oxS2Ao/edit?usp=sharing
The fields that are designated as 'rows' are appearing 'nested' in the 2013 table, whereas they appear as multiple columns in 2003. Also, you can filter on Doc Type in the 2003 table but not the 2013
The date field has been put as the column, and I've kind of worked out how to get it to split it by date (with some trial and error), but notice how in 2003 it shows the date of the month differently (i.e. the day's number only, not the day + the month, e.g. 1 instead of 1-Apr.).
Can anyone help?
In Excel 2013, the default layout of PivotTable is "Compact Form" (which you called "nested"). The layout in 2003 is Tabular Form and it is still available in 2013.
Click on the PivotTable
Go to PivotTable Tools (a tab on the top)
Design>Report Layout
Show in Tabular Form
Once you have change it into Tabular Form, "Doc Type" should display as an individual column and you can filter it.
*Order of rows and columns can be adjusted by dragging.
The format of data field can be modified in Field Settings. Right click on the desired cell, and look for "Value Field Setting".
I have used Power Pivot to create some calculated fields from a table of data.
Then I use the modified table, with the calculated fields to create some pivot charts back on the excel workbook.
In the same way I linked the original dataset (excel table) to Power Pivot, I would like to link the table in powerpivot with the calculated fields back to excel. Is this possible?
yoshiserry, the best way to share PowerPivot stuff is PowerView (Excel 2013). If you want to share just the table, regular Excel file should be fine -- people even without PowerPivot installed will be able to work with it (with some limitations).
I have a pivot table on excel which uses SSAS Cube. I have selected some report filter as well as some row labels.Later I changed the attribute relationships in the dimension.
I didn't change the names of the attributes of the dimension.
But now when I refresh my excel, all the report filters disappear.
As this excel is on the client site it would create a problem as they do not want to select the filters again.
The dimension still can be seen in the pivot table and has to be selected again.
Can anyone suggest what can be done?
Thanks,
Kiran
I created a Power Pivot workbook that has information from our store (the plan is to connect to this document and consume the data), basically is something like this.
CostumerID | QtyPurchasedProductA | QtyPurchasedProductB | QtyPurchasedProductC ...
Everything is working fine when I use the Power Pivot data as a Pivot Table, but I when I upload the workbook to a SharePoint site and connect to the PowerPivot from another workbook, all of the measures (QtyPurchasedProductA , QtyPurchasedProductB, QtyPurchasedProductC) are shown as attributes instead of measures.
This happens with pulled from my database as well as custom DAX fields.
Any idea why this is happening? Is there a way I could specify on my Power Pivot Central Document? (the one I uploaded to sharepooint)
Thanks
When working with a pivot table (or pivot chart) based on a PowerPivot container local the workbook, Excel will "automagically" apply an aggregation function (Count, Sum, etc) to any field placed in the values/details section. My guess is that this "feature" is intended to make PowerPivot more user-friendly for the average business user...however I think promotes bad habits.
So, you'll want to go back in the local copy of your PowerPivot workbook and explicitly defined the measures. The easiest way to do this is to select the column and choose from one of the listed aggregation functions (see below):
For complex measures, you can use a DAX expression in the calculation area to define a calculated measure.
Once that's done, upload the PowerPivot workback back to SharePoint and you should see the measures when you connect to it and try to use it as a data source in other workbooks.
