  • Pivot Tables Aggregation

    Hi, I would like to create a Pivot Table where I have say four rows all in column format. They are Broker, Portfolio, Port ID, Rate(decimal). The data is Amounts in dollars.

  • Re: To Pivot or Not To Pivot

    As a general rule I store all my data in Access and analyse it using pivot tables. To get the data into excel, I tend to use OLEDB because i found the Access ODBC driver had too many syntax limitations. So to get at your data in Access: select Data\Import External Data\ Import data. Select 'Connect...

  • Re: Using External Data with Excel Workbooks

    Whoops, my mistake. You cannot use dynamic ranges with MS Query. The usual workaround is to place each data range on a separate sheet and define range names like this; HoursWorked =Sheet1!$A:$E This assumes that column headings are in the first row, and there is nothing below the data.

  • Re: To Pivot or Not To Pivot

    With most of my data stored in Databases, my first job when wanting to look at that data is how do I get it into a pivot.

  • Using External Data with Excel Workbooks

    Most pivot tables in Excel are built using a simple Excel list as the data source. This is the default in the pivot table wizard. We can also base pivot tables on external data. Typically the external data is taken from a database or text file, however there are also advantages to working with external...

  • Re: Passing a list from Excel to MS Query

    Omar Certainly I suspect you will need to have multiple cells, which would not be ideal. I would suggest using a Pivot Table rather than the 'flat data' and then you could set up the employee IDs as a page field for example and filter out some. For help with Pivot Tables, there is some info on...

  • Swapping pivot table row and column fields back and forth, "transpose" a pivottable

    Frequently I found that the desired x-y orientation in a pivot chart requires to switch the row and column fields in the associated pivot table. So I wrote a little procedure that allows to do just that with ease. I've only tested it so far with relativly simple pivot tables. It seems to work fine...

  • Creating a Histogram from a Pivot Table.

    I'll start the PivotTable forum off with a cheap trick. Did you know you can use a pivot table as the source for a histogram? First, you need to create a pivot table where the data values are plotted in the Row area (not the Data area). Notice that the SalesAmount field is placed in the Row Labels...
