Hello, can I add a column to PIVOT so that it is possible to update free text for each row? And that you will be connected to the same line as soon as I make an update to the DATA BASE?

No, pivot tables don't work that way, sorry.
- aref12May 29, 2023Copper ContributorHey thanks .
Is there a way to overcome this?
I process data derived from the priority and it is necessary to add comments to the lines- Detlef_LewinMay 29, 2023Silver Contributor
You could try Power Query.
There is Grouping and Pivoting.
And to add comments you need an extra table with a unique identifier column and a comment column.
The unique identifier must correspond to a column in your "pivot" table.
Then you have to combine "pivot" table with comments table.

You cannot add text values to a pivot table, and if you enter them in a column next to the pivot table, they won't move with the rows of the pivot table.
