Can I use pivot tables for this task?
I have a large dataset that I am currently using to compare Year-To-Date
totals via a series of pivot tables, by region and by country. There's a column in the data that summarises each YTD totals, i.e. 2006 YTD, 2007 YTD, and Budget 2007 YTD. I use these totals to feed my pivot tables. However, I now need to analyse the monthly YTD trends in the data. This means I need to compare the numbers in each monthly column, arranged as follows: "2006 Jan", "2007 Jan" and "2007 Budget Jan", then "2006 Feb", "2007 Feb", etc. I eventually need to draw an overlaid line graph showing the trends in all three. I have in the past been copying and pasting the data into a template and updating existing charts, but this only works for one country at a time and is very laborious. I am copying & pasting the the above data like this: Jan Feb Mar Apr... 2006 10 12 12 10... Budget 11 13 13 11... 2007 8 10 12 14... What I would like is to have the above displayed in a pivot chart, with the country name as a Page Field so that I just need to select each country name to display the trends for that country. Is it possible to do this via pivot tables? |
