create pivot table from external csv file
Hi,
So what's your question? If you're asking if it can be done, the answer is Yes. If you're asking how to do it, the question is - what version of Excel are you using? For Example in 2003 you would choose Data, Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Report, and choose External data source, Next, Get Data, choose New Data Source and click OK. Enter a name like myCSVData and open the second dropdown. Select Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt,*.csv), click Connect. Uncheck Use Current Directory, and then choose Select Directory. Find your file and open it, you will be in a wizard, whose steps are fairly straight forward. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Sunny" wrote: I am dumping huge data to csv file, Now what I want to do is, create pivot table/chart from csv file without importing data into it.

Sorry for not clear about my question.
I am using excel 2007 and I tried to follow your steps for excell 2003 but there is no Get Data option. Can you please guide me for excel 2007? Would that import data in excel or create link to csv? Do i have to do same excercise every time I create new csv file? Thanks for looking into it. "Shane Devenshire" wrote in message ... Hi, So what's your question?

create pivot table from external csv file
Shane and Roger,
Thanks you very much and it worked great. Although I have couple more questions: 1. I notice file size is very big as my csv file. I assumes it imports data and not link the data. Would that be possible to link it only. 2. Is there any way in pivot table to find unique count? Like I want total sales amount along with total sales person involved in that sales. Total sales can be grouped in Region/county and some other filter. If I use count that shows # of sales in the group which is different from # of unique sales person. I really appreciate your help. Thanks. "Roger Govier" <roger@technology4unospamdotcodotuk wrote in message ...
