Can a pivot table function like data filter?
My question is related to the feature that a data filter offers whereby the drop down arrow changes color (to royal blue) once an option in the filter is selected. I have a very detailed pivot table. When an option is selected it is difficult to visually see which option(s) was chosen. I was wondering if there is any way to make the drop down arrow in the pivot table function similar to that of the drop down arrow in the data filter, i.e., have the color of the drop down arrow and/or option selected change color so that it stands out on the spreadsheet. This will enable the user to quickly determine which option(s) needs to be reset. -- Tbal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tbal's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25317 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=387971 |

Can a pivot table function like data filter?
Just wanted to let everyone know that I found the answer. It is to use conditional formatting. This will enable the user to view the selected option (though not the drop-down arrow) in a color/format of my choice. I hope this answer helps others who are looking for similar solutions! -- Tbal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tbal's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25317 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=387971 |
