How can I show all field data in a pivot table, instead of blank
I want to perform lookups ona pivot table without using the gETPIVOTDATA
function. Is it possible to show a decsription against each line of the pivot table, instead of blank spaces? e.g. Field 1 Field 2 Data 1 Field 1 Field 2 Data 2 Field 1 Field 2 Data 3 Field 1 Field 2 Data 4 |
The row headings show once in a Pivot Table, and there's no setting you
can change, to force them to repeat. You could create a copy of the pivot table, and fill the blanks, to do the lookup. Perhaps you could use INDEX/MATCH formulas to work with the data in the pivot table, but would have problems if the layout changed. Why don't you want to use GetPivotData?

Thanks for the info.
Don't want to use GETPIVOTDATA as I'm unfamiliar with it (despite computing degree). Suppose I'll need to sometime...

Scott,
I use ISBLANK function to check if the cell is emply and IF function to point to the different cell. If you create your LookUps in column F you need to point F1 to the cell where your Field1 is (for exp =A3), then in F2 you can enter this formula =If(ISBLANK(A4),F1,A4) Hope it helps.
