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
If you provide the file it'll be easier. I attached what I thought would be best.
Create a new tab, go to each tab where you've labeled per week, copy the entire data set, go to the new tab and copy it that to a brand new tab, repeat for all the tabs labeled so you have one tab with all weeks in it, click into the data and press Control+T to create a table, check the box that your tables has headers, and you're done.
It would be much better if you complete this and then create a pivot table based on this table of data because you can visually see this, filter, and show the data in a more meaningful way than just in a table.
