pie-charting non-numeric data
Dear All
My question is somewhat same like Mr.Doug I want to place non-numeric data in data field of Pivot Table..i.e name Is it possible? "Doug VanOrnum" wrote: I would like to chart and graph responses to a survey that are non-numeric in nature, such as a bar graph for "yes" and no" responses to a question. Or in particular a pie chart that shows how many people picked option "P" vs. "K", "J" or "N". For the pie chart I have a column of data cells, each containing one of the four letters. In short, how do I accomplish charting and/or graphing non-numeric responses? |

pie-charting non-numeric data
The data field displays numbers. However, you can use non-numeric columns to
generate those numbers. Start with a list of labels in A2:A20, and a header ("Labels") in A1. Create a pivot table from the data in A1:A20. Drag the Labels field to the Rows area and to the Data area. You will end up with a pivot table with a list of unique labels in the Rows area, and a count of each label in the Data area. See this short tutorial for an illustrated example: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/ChartsH...idateData.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "sonal patel" wrote in message ...
