PIVOT Table Sorting - PLEASE Help!!!!!
Hi, I'm trying to sort the data within my pivot table. I have changed the
sort flag, but it only sorts the summed totals for the particular data element. Based on my following example I get sorted summed total, but not within each data set. (Retail has highest total & Entertainment is lowest). I also want to sort the items within each element (Within retail Orange should be first, apple second and Bannana third). How can I get it to do a sort within a sort? Thanks!

Gary, thanks for the reply. That changed the display, but unfortunately it
only did it for the "category" and "type" labels (i.e the labels associated with the values are now in decending alpha order). What I'm trying to accomplish is getting the values associated with the category and type to be sorted in decending order. When I right click on the "amount" column ("sum of amount" in the field properties dialog box) an "advanced" button is not onthe dialog box. Can you please offer some additional help? Thanks a million! Gray Brown wrote: Assumptions: Retail, Gasoline, etc are in a field called 'Category'.

Sorry, John.
I had misunderstood what you were looking for. The 'Data' area can not be sorted. At least not through Excel 2003. Don't know about 2007. -- HTH, Gary Brown If this post was helpful to you, please select ''YES'' at the bottom of the post. "John87111" wrote: Gary, thanks for the reply.

I don't know how to do this in Excel 2003 either, but it's definitely
included in the field drop-down option (sort by Data Values vs sort by Labels) in Excel 2007. I'll look when I have a copy of 2003 handy - add it to the list...
