Pivot Table - only show dates greater than =today()
 

Hi everyone,

I am creating a pivot table and need to only show data that is greater
than todays date.
I have tried the following:

Column to filter.
Only include rows where
Date is greater than =today()

This doesnt work, however i am unsure if this isn't working because
the format the date is in is not showing as a date or I am writing the
the above incorrectly.

If =today() should work is there a way I can change the date?
Currently once I have created the report the dates show as
2007/03/12 which I then have to replace / with . and then vice versa
to enable me to format the cell as a date - this could be an internal
problem how the data is set up.

Any advice would be a great help.

Thanks all

How about adding another field to the raw data?

You can use a formula that evaluates to whether the data should be shown or not:

=if(a2today(),"Show","Hide")

and drag down.

Then build your pivottable, but include this field in the page field. And show
the "Shows".

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

The data is external data from an SQL server, therefore I am unable to
edit the data.
Many Thanks

With reference to the above question:

Could someone please confirm if
=today() should work in pivot tables?
