Pivot Table lookup
 

Please help...
I have this pivot table:


Check Date 12/31/09

Hours Worked
DepartmentId EeoClass Sex Employee ID Total
200 1 M JONES001 40
300 1 M JOHNSON0001 40
500 1 F JEN001 40
M DOUBLA00001 40
GER001 40
LUK001 40
SMITH000001 40
2 F BOU001 40
Grand Total 320

EEOC is actually the column with 1 and 2 and the vlookup is:
Code Description
1 White
2 Black or African American
3 Hispanic or Latino
4 Asian
5 American Indian or an Alaskan Native
6 Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander
7 Two or more races
I am having an issue using the vlookup with a pivot table. I have seen it
used in the past but not working for me.

Thanks so much to anyone that can help!

Pivot Table lookup
 

you may not have to use a Vlookup but moving fields on the pivot table into
the top or page location. Vlookups are good if all fileds carry down as you
have blanks after 1 for different employees. You may be able to vlookups on
the detail but then it would need to be sorted. Try moving the fields around
to page / columns and see if that works
