I am trying to make a simple bug viewer with Excel. I think I need a pivot table for this.
I have attached a screen shot of what I have got so far. What I would like, is instead of the 'Count of x' columns, is the actual data to be displayed.
My data table is formatted as follows:
Thank you very much,
Richard Hughes
You cannot have the actual text displayed in those columns. The columns show aggregated data. You can have counts and sums, averages, etc.
I think that what you want is the "classic" pivot table view. Go into the pivot table options, Display tab and select "Classic Pivottable Layout".
Then add the data you want to see as "Row Labels" not Values. You might want to keep a count of ID as a value. Is that better?

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.
first time asking a question here. So I apologize in advance if I have not asked properly.
I have a set of data in the form of a table, which I have converted into a Pivot Table, with the normal purchase sales and profit columns. However, my problem arises as I want to create another column in the Pivot Table which gives the profit percentage on purchases. I am aware that this can be done by clicking on the Fields, Items & Sets drop-down menu under the PivotTable Tools - Analyze Tab, However, this doesn't work and all I can see is that the Calculated Field option is greyed out.
Can anyone advise how I can get a profit percentage column to be inserted in the pivot table? Thank you in advance.

It looks like your PivotTable uses an OLAP data source, which is why that option is greyed out. If you have the requisite version/SKU of Excel you could use the PowerPivot add-in to write a measure, but otherwise I think your only other option is to get your database admin to add the column to the database, and then bring that through to Excel.
1. Original table with concatenated fields & 2. table after use of "Text to Columns"
3. Is this even possible?
Hello! I'm pretty new to the fancier formula side of Excel and I have a large amount of data that has been saved in concatenated fields. The Contact column, contains all contacts for a single entity/hospital, and I have separated these contacts into their own columns (See images 1-2). What I want to know is if there's any shorthand way to create additional row items that contain the same Hospital, Address etc., but transpose these Contacts from columns into rows (image 3.... this was done by hand just to give an example). Thanks for your help!
Can you use Power Query? (Get and Transform)
You might have to do a download and install to set it up in Excel 2010 though.

You could try a Pivot Table. Get the data into a pivot table and put your contacts in the "values" list.

In Excel 2016 there is a Text to Columns button on the Data tab which fires up a wizard that will do what you are askin for.
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 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.
