Hi.I am having a problem with generating multiple worksheets based on the filter in a Pivot Table.using the same files (.xlsx) on two different machines with two different installation of Excel 2016, it works in one, but in the other machine , under Pivot Table-Analyze_Options the Show Report Filter Pages is greyed out .Help needed.

Hi francesco, Show Report Filter Pages is greyed if creating your Pivot Table you add your data to Data model. Please check in File->Options->Advanced->Data the "Prefer the Excel Data Model..." is disabled. Or creating Pivot Table disable "Add this data to the Data Model" in Pivot Table creation window. If you change above that won't affect already created Pivot Tables.

tks you very much, my problem and when i see picture so i can

Hi Sergei, Am having same issue but looking into File->Options->Advanced->I don't see a Data section to be able to go to the "Prefer the Excel Data Model..." is disabled. Or creating Pivot Table disable "Add this data to the Data Model" in Pivot Table creation window

Yeah am still not sure if I am doing it right. I was able to find the location to check the box for Prefer the Excel Data Model when creating PivotTables, QueryTables and Data Connections. Currently I am trying to connect to two different sharepoint list and need to combine the information into one chart. I am looking at getting the number of requests per service. But I cant seem to get the two tables to merge properly within the data model. But this option seemed like the best option to be able to get each service in its own chart. Do you know any good videos on linking sharepoint lists to excel and creating pivot charts?.

Hi francesco,

Show Report Filter Pages is greyed if creating your Pivot Table you add your data to Data model.

Please check in File->Options->Advanced->Data the "Prefer the Excel Data Model..." is disabled. Or creating Pivot Table disable "Add this data to the Data Model" in Pivot Table creation window.

    In settings is only default behaviour, you may always change the option creating the PivotTable
