This just started within the last 30 days or so... it appears that when pasting a Pivot Table as values over itself... borders and formatting are now eliminated. Extremely frustrating as I have the need to distribute Pivot Table data to many corporate users, but do not want all of the underlying data to be exposed or shared. Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus, Excel version 1708 (Build 8431.2153 Click-to run) Is there any way to turn this off, or what is the work-around? Tried all kinds of various "pasting formats" and such. Thank You, Brian CatalanoSolved206KViews1like28CommentsPivot Table formatting after refresh
I have a pivot table set up, and have selected "Preserve cell formatting on update" in PivotTable Option. However, when I select a different slicer or refresh the data, the cell formats change dramatically and seemingly randomly. I cannot get the table to save the cell format consistently. Extremely frustrating, and a seemingly known issue with no good fix. Help!!!99KViews3likes25CommentsSCENARIO PIVOT TABLE

Folks, I'm adding Pivot table source update comment in case others have the same problem. Problem I created a pivot table whose source data changed because I added rows to the source. When I clicked on the Change Source Button to extend the pivot table source to the additional rows, the Change PivotTable Source window popped up, but Excel did not return to the source data tab with the current row and columns marked. Instead, it just remained on the Pivot table tab. When I manually entered the new table source rows and columns on the Change PivotTable Source form and clicked ok, Excel erased my Pivot table. Normal Operation Excel is supposed to take you to the source table tab with the current selection marked, where you can either mark the new source rows and columns with your mouse or manually enter the rows and columns. When you press Ok on the Change PivotTable Source pop-up, Excel is supposed to update your Pivot table with information from the new source rows and columns. Solution Navigate to the Excel Options’ Data tab and uncheck “Prefer the Excel Data Model when creating PivotTables, QueryTables and Data Conversions.” If you need to leave this option checked, be careful to uncheck Add this data to the Data Model on the Create PivotTable pop-up when creating a new Pivot table.5.9KViews0likes1CommentGETPIVOTDATA Relative Reference and Cascading (Linking) Slicers to Filter Students and Test Scores
Hi All, I could really use some help before I go jump off a bridge. Jk. The issue I am currently having it related to using relative references in the GETPIVOTDATA function and cascading slicers. I have a PivotTable set up that has a list of students and their test scores. What I would like to happen is for the user to select one student from the cascading slicer, whose parent is a slicer with which class they're in, and the student's name changes in one cell while the student's test score appears in another. I do not know if this is possible with slicers, but I was able to get it to work with data validation lists. Unfortunately, the data validation is not dependent on a parent. How it works with the data validation is I connect it to the list of students. After that, I get the scores from the PivotTable and change the absolute reference to relative by changing the name of the student to the cell in which I have the students listed. The function works well for what it's supposed to do. The issue is that it is not dependent on the parent slicer and it takes away from the interactivity of the dashboard I am working on. In addition, I am unable to search the list of students to make it more efficient for the user. Is there a way to search slicers? Can I connect another slicer that allow me to search by the first two letters of the student's name? How would I do this? The other way I have done it is to use the GETPIVOTDATA function to obtain all the names in the PivotTable relative to which class they're in. After that, I set up the GETPIVOTDATA function to retrieve the test scores for each student. The absolute reference was changed to relative by connecting the formula to the cells with the names I had already retrieved. This works really well for it does. The student's name appears at the top along with the respective test score. The issue with this is that all of the other cells either turn into a 0 or a reference error since that data has been filter. Is there a workaround for this?

I have a Pivot Table which is grouped by Year. When I add new records to data source, then hit refresh in Pivot Table, the grouping defaults to Month. I would like it to remain by Year. I tried the 'Disable automatic grouping of Date/Time columns in PivotTables' but that did not work. Any suggestions? Thank you,Solved3.6KViews0likes3CommentsUnable to edit calculate values in a PivotTable
I have a pivot table, created by my colleague; it includes calculated values, and I am unable to see its formulas. The following steps were taken: 1) select cell in the pivot table; 2) click "Fields, Items & Sets" ( "PivotTable Analysis" on the ribbon); 3) choose "Calculated Field." Here I expect to see existing calculating fields in the "Name" drop-down list. DD list is empty. As a workaround, I take a look at another excel-file with those values (excel-university.com/edit-pivottable-values) but faced the same problem.3KViews0likes3CommentsPivotTable Error with Relationships
Hello, Could someone help me with a pivot table issue? I am having difficulties combining 3 tables together. I created a one to many relationship from table 1 to table 2 and table 3 as shown by the arrows in the below image. However, when I add a pivot table, all of the invoice numbers are showing up under every purchase order number. How do I set up the pivot table so that only the corresponding invoice number shows up under the purchase order, and blank if there is no corresponding invoice. I tried the auto-detect in case I was missing something and 0 results came up.Solved2.5KViews0likes4CommentsPivot Table: Two-way Show Values As:
The PivotTable shown below is based on installed pipe length source data in a separate tab. The PivotTable sums those lengths and shows them as running totals by year (row) for each material (column). This shows the cumulative amount of any material installed up to the year on that row. For example: Up to 1943, there had accumulated 117 ft of pipe material "CAS" installed. 30 ft in 1922, 0 ft in 1942, 87 ft in 1943 (30+0+87=117) Now: I want to compute the percentage each cumulative total is of the grand total. So, the 117 ft then formed 27% of the cumulative system total (430 ft) installed up through 1943. Implemented on the whole PivotTable this would show how the composition of the system changed over time. I don't see a way to automate that second computation as a PivotTable feature. I have fallen back on a manual "table" to the right of the PivotTable divides each cumulative value by the value in the Grand Total column on that row. Is there an automated way to do that instead? Or perhaps a better work around?2.4KViews0likes3CommentsPivot table - showing text value and multiple charts
I hope that it is clear what I am trying to achieve here. You'll have to forgive me, I'm a complete and utter novice who navigates excel usually using just the standard buttons on the ribbon! I want to create a pivot table to show the varying different communications and events that happen within a given month within my organisation. Desired Pivot Ability to filter by month(s) with a general count of event/communication types. Then the ability to show more information for selected types (e.g. the date of). Current data Columns: Date, Month, Name, Campaign, Type, Service/s, Send to and Sent from NB. Campaign, services, send to and sent from will only have a value if the data is about a mailing rather than an Awareness Day or Charity event. Pivot Attempt My current Pivot is OK but not "quite there". I can filter with months and it'll show me all the happenings within that month, which is great but I want a little more, if possible. 1) For the date, sent from and send to information to show when I filter too (e.g. would know the Mental Wellbeing EDM would be sent on 23rd May to Active and Inactive volunteers from VET) 2) On a separate table (using same filter) to show a simple count of each type e.g. Filter to June, then show EDM - 4, Awareness Days - 5, Internal Comms - 3 etc. 3) The "service/s" column could have multiple options (e.g. caring and money, volunteering and fundraising) is there a way to count this. So I could say e.g. in May, there are 4 events which fall under Caring (this would count an EDM just noted as 'caring' in service column but also 3 awareness days which were put under services as 'mental wellbeing, caring and money' for example. (I hope that's clear??) Any thoughts, really appreciated!2.2KViews0likes3Comments
