Pivot Table Cells
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to find a way to get cells values rather than numbers in the data field of a pivot table. I only can get a count of names where I would like to get actual names. In order to make it easier to understand I show bellow what I mean: What I get from a pivot table is: Count of Nom Date N° 3/12/2006 6/6/2006 12/3/2006 Grand Total 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 1 1 Grand Total 1 1 1 3 What I would like to get is: Count of Nom Date N° 3/12/2006 6/6/2006 12/3/2006 Grand Total 1 Albert 1 2 Bryan 1 3 Christina 1 Grand Total 1 1 1 3 Does anyone have a trick? It would help a lot. Thank you. |

You won't be able to get the names to appear in the data area. If you
add another copy of the Name field to the pivot table, in the Row area, you'll see the names, and a count for that name in the data area.

Hi Roger,
Thank you for your help. If I do as you described I will get the list of names in the row field. I would like to get the names in the data field, is there a way to do so? Thank you.

Pivot Table Cells
Although it's probably crystal clear to you, it's a bit cloudy on this end
not knowing what fields of data you have in the data range, how you currently have the PT structured beyond just the Data Area, or what it is that you're looking to glean from the PT. Best Guess: Add the field containing the Names to the Drop Column Fields Here Area (to the right of & in addition to what you're currently using). Does that come close? -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Cajeto 63" wrote in message ...

Regrettably not. You see the Names listed with a series of 1's against the columns that are relevant. -- Regards Roger Govier "Cajeto 63" wrote in message ... Hi Roger, Thank you for your help.

Pivot Table Cells
Sorry if it's not clear, I'll try to explain it again:
the data I have is as follow: N° Nom Date 1 Toto 12/3/2006 2 Albert 3/12/2006 3 Marcel 6/6/2006 And what I want to get is: N° 3/12/2006 6/6/2006 12/3/2006 1 Toto 2 Albert 3 Christina The data used above is only for trials purposes. And the objective is an autorefreshed action plan to know who need to work on what for when. As you can imagine the list of poeple, dates & numbers can be quite long... Does it clear the clouds a little?

This creates a translated table from the Pivot Table.
Add another column of numbers, unique to each person: Nu Nom Date NomNu 1 Toto 12/03/06 3 2 Albert 03/12/06 5 3 Marcel 06/06/06 7 Name the columns with the names suggested. Do not use N° Create the Pivot Table with Sum of NomNu Nu 3/12/06 6/6/06 12/3/06 1 3 2 5 3 7 Name the Data field ArrayP and create another table with this array formula: =IF(arrayP=NomNu,Nom,"") The added table will look like this: 3/12/06 6/6/06 12/3/06 1 Toto 2 Albert 3 Marcel |

Hi Herbert,
thank you for your help, it looks exactly like what I would like to get in your post. Unfortunately I must do something wrong because it does not work in my workbook. Instead of giving me the names it returns a "#VALUE!". When you say "name the columns with the suggested names" do you mean the all column or just the rows of the column containing the data? Then when you say "Name the Data field ArrayP" if I picture it as bellow do you mean Arrayp=B2:D4 or Arrayp=A1:D4 A B C D 1 Nu 3/12/06 6/6/06 12/3/06 2 1 3 3 2 5 4 3 7 Thank you.

You can include rows that do not have data, in case you want to add future data. Just make sure all ranges (ArrayP, Nu, Nom, NuNom) have the same number of rows. Or use the Dynamic Range method explained by Debra Dalgleish. http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html Then when you say "Name the Data field ArrayP" if I picture it as below do you mean Arrayp=B2:D4 The Data field is B2:D4, the Row field is A2:A4, the Column field is B1:D1 I wrote: another table I meant a table located maybe at B10:D12, the same size as the Data field. with this array formula: =IF(arrayP=NomNu,Nom,"") I meant select B10:D12 and enter this formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, instead of just Enter. The last item is probably the cause of your error message. |
