XL2003 Pivot Tables from Filtered Data...
A colleague has Autofiltered a spreadsheet and then wishes to create a Pivot
Table based on the filtered data. He can create the PT fine, but ALL data is used, not just filtered. Is there a way around this, or a better solution? Any assistance gratefully accepted and TIA, Amanda |

Maybe your colleague could add a field to the raw data--put in some formula that
does the equivalent of the data|filter. (Returns Show/Hide or True/False or...) Then use that as a page field in the pivottable Then they could use that to show/hide the data they want in the pivottable.

Hi
Use Advanced Filter to pull the subset of data to another sheet, then base the PT on a Dynamic range on the new sheet. For more help on using Advanced filter in this way take a look at http://www.contextures.com/xladvfilter01.html#ExtractWs and for Dynamic Ranges http://www.contextures.com/xlNames01.html#Dynamic -- Regards Roger Govier "Birmangirl" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your suggestions Roger. I passed the information on and my
colleague has now created the PT. Using dynamic named ranges also decreased the recalc time considerably too!
