Hi , bit of a novice at this and desperately in need of some help.

I have a large worksheet full of data and most of it I can get sorted using
pivot tables but I want to be able to dynamically re-arrange stuff.

let say I have list of accounts, each account has varying number of request
id's associated. Each munth I want to be able to pick from a drop down list a
customers name and see their top 5 issues.

So far all I have been able to do is get their names in order, and i have
also been able to get the drop down list but getting their request list is
not proving to be easy.

Anyone able to hgelp on this?

By "top 5 issues" do you mean the 5 issues or codes that appear most
frequently?

Maybe the following would help
Put Account as a Page item
Request Id as a Row item and then click on advanced for Requestclick To
10 autoshowonSelect top 5

Couldn't you just do this on the original data page by using
autofilters, then filter for the name you want to see and in the id
column filter by TOP 10 and change that to 5?
