How to filter by subtotals if over $5000 - Pivot Table/VBA?
- Jun 19, 2022
We may play with Power Query. For such model
first prepare the source table
let Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content], #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes( Source, { {"Year", type date}, {"Price", Currency.Type}, {"Trip", type text} } ), #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns( #"Changed Type", {"First Name", "Last Name"}, Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.None),"Name"), #"Extracted Year" = Table.TransformColumns( #"Merged Columns", {{"Year", Date.Year, Int64.Type}}) in #"Extracted Year"
Next generate list of people who spent more than 5000 annually. We ignore years with no trips.
let Source = Table, Bar = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="PriceBar"]}[Content]{0}[Column1], #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group( Source, {"Name", "Year"}, { {"Total", each List.Sum([Price]), type nullable number}}), #"Grouped Rows1" = Table.Group( #"Grouped Rows", {"Name"}, {{"Data", each List.Min( _[Total] ) > Bar }}), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows( #"Grouped Rows1", each ([Data] = true)), #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns( #"Filtered Rows",{"Name"}), Name = #"Removed Other Columns"[Name] in Name
Finally filter source table by these names and land query to the grid as PivotTable
let Source = Table, #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows( Source, each List.Contains(#"Names Filtered", [Name] )) in #"Filtered Rows"

Perhaps you may share small sample file removing sensitive information? Your dates could be actually texts and/or format is not the same as default one for your Power Query locale.
You may right click on the column on Source step, select column and from right click menu select
and here something like
Perhaps something else, hard to say without sample file.

Hi Sergei, I thought everything was fine but when I put in new data and press refresh for the dataset I adapted your model for, I am getting the following error. Can you please help resolve this. Thanks.
