Arranging row titles in a Pivot Table
I have multiple income statements that I want to combine into a pivot table.
However, when I pull the data into a pivot table, the accounts (row data) are sorted alphabetically. Short of manually sorting the rows (all 172 of them) every time, are there any creative ways to get the rows to align in the way that I want them to? I have tried to associate a "row number" with an account (i.e. Sales = 1, COGS = 2, Gross Profit = 3) so that I can sort by the row number in the order that I want, however, this method skews my grand totals. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt |

Arranging row titles in a Pivot Table
Hi
If you double click on the fieldAdvancedManual then you can drag the rows into whatever order you wish. They will not alter when you do a refresh. You can also apply Grouping. Hold down Control as you click on a range of row headingsright clickGroupcreates Group1 Change Heading to 1 Sales. Repeat for COGS etc. Make this new Group heading Automatically sorted A-Z and you will get your Groups in the correct order, but the accounts will stay in the order you set, within each grouping. -- Regards Roger Govier "mcwilhjelm" wrote in message ...
