Default add filter to pivot table in excel 2007

Hi Scott

File received. Very simple problem.
Your column B on the Pivot tab is hidden, as a result you cannot see the
see the dropdown for the Report Filter.
Unhide the column and all works OK.

If you want to mail me a copy of the workbook direct, I will take a
look
to see if I can figure out what is going on.
To mail direct remove NOSPAM from my address

You were right about not having rows 1 and 2 visible. Now however,
no
matter
what I do, I cannot get the filter to work on this field. I
followed
your
steps and that of the help tutorial, but the ability to filter on
this
field
is not allowed. Suggestions?

Hi Scott

Are you sure that you have the Sheet with the PT on it scrolled up
to
show Row 1?

By default, the first filed added to the Report Filter would be
placed
on row 1. The only way I can simulate your experience, is if I
have
the
table scrolled slightly, so it is only showing from Row 3 onward.

Roger,

I'm missing something basic. When I add the field to the Report
Filter
box,
the field does not show on the Pivot Table and I therefore
cannot
use
this
field to filter. How do I filter on the field when it does not
show
on
the
table? If I move try to add the field again to teh row lables
box,
it
takes
the field from the Report Filter box and moves it to the Row
Labels
box.

Thanks

Drag the relevant filed to the Report Filter area of the Pivot
Table
Field List.
The use the dropdown on that field to select the Item(s)
required.
