I want to create a list similar to one i can get from a pivot table where I
can do the following:

If I select the city then I can view all the customers in that particular
city and select Yes or No from a drop down list on the far right. I want to
be able to have my managers from the different cities update yes/no for
payments owed for the customers in their city.

my worksheet looks like this:
A B C D
E
City Customer Code Customer Name Program Type Payment Owed
a abcd Lucy loading
yes/no (drop down)
a efgh Bob loading
b ijkl Chris Loading
b mnop Sally loading

Is this possible with a pivot table?

thanks.

Select cells in F2 to F100....or whatever the listrange is.

DataValidationAllowList In source enter Yes,No

Checkmark "incell dropdown"

This will place a clickable yes or no option in those cells.

Now Autofilter by City

Select yes or no from DV dropdown.

do you really want to make it more complicated instead of using autofilter?
(select data including headers, then go to data-filter-autofilter)
