weekly status report
Hi Vin
You can actually use my pivot table but if you want to follow the steps to create your own you need to do the following:
- Select any cell in your pivot table
- This will display the PIVOT TABLE TOOLS at the top right hand of the ribbon
- Select the DESIGN option
- On the far left select the Report Layout drop down and then choose Show in Tabular Format
- Also on far left sect the Subtotals drop down and then choose Do Not Show Subtotals
- The Sum of Effort in Hours columns defaults to decimal; you need to change the format to HH:MM; Place cursor on heading cell, right click mouse and select Value Field Setting; This opens a new window so select Number Format , then choose Custom; you can scroll down the values until you find hh:mm or you can type hh:mm if you can't find it in your list.
I hope you can follow these steps!
regards,
Peter
Please provide a sample of your current format and I can look at this for you.

Please find attached the sample status report. According to the indication received, I should only have one sheet with a fileter to select every week. Not sure on what to do. Thank you.Hi
I think what was being suggested was something like the attached.
The basic idea is to store all the data on a single sheet (ALL DATA) and then use a pivot table to select the actual week you need. I have done an example with the first 4 weeks.
On the SELECT WEEKLY DATA sheet, you select the week number at the top and the pivot will get the data that you need from the ALL DATA sheet.
Hope this helps?

Hello Peter,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried to replicate your work but i could not quite make the same adjustments. Not sure what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks again for your time and your patience.

The current format is a simple spreadsheet with different tabs that will corrispond to the week number of the year (CW01, CW02, CW03, etc.). The only formula used is to sum up the total amount of weekly worked hours. Basically, I am asked to avoid 52 tabs (each for every week of the year) and only have a column with a dropdown option that selects the week number... Hope this additional information helps!
