How to sort data in data area in a pivot table
I have a large data file, I did sales $ report in a pivot table by custmer.
Is it a way to sort custmer by their sales $? Sales $ is in data area, customer is in row area, we want to sort it like the report on right side below. Customer Sales Customer Sales A 1000 C 20 B 5000 A 1000 C 20 B 5000 6020 6020 |

Then choose advanced. Select Ascending and choose Sales$ from the dropdown menu. |

How to sort data in data area in a pivot table
Hi Holly,
Yes, you can do this. Go to the wizard and double click on the row or column that you want to sort by. Don't use what's in the central data field. If you click on the row or column field, you'll get a pop up menu that will look like the formatting area. But here, you'll have a button that says "advanced". Click on advanced and you'll get a new menu. IN the lower left, you'll see a sorting option with a drop down that will allow you to select the specific central data field you want to sort. You can click manual, ascending and descending. It's very handy. "Holly" wrote: I have a large data file, I did sales $ report in a pivot table by custmer.
