Default Sorting in pivottables



Thanks - now I know how to sort by the cities, but if I want to sort by the
sum of kollies?

Hi

Double click on Ship From, and then do what I said, choosing Sum of
kollies as the sort field.

Hi Roger,

I'm having some problems understanding this.. My pivottable looks like
this


Data
Ship from Sum of kollies Sum of FBV
City A 88 792
City B 14 86
City C 101 911
Total 203 1789

If i doubleclick on the header (Sum of kollies), i get an error
message;
cannot show or hide detail for this selection. If I doubleclick on the
datavalue 88 (in the first row), the details for these shipments show.
What
am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to sort a pivot-table by values in the data area?
