Hi Debra

I think your'e right. So I have to hope this will be improved in the next
version of Excel.

Thank you all for your assistance.

Kind regards

If you create a Pivot Table from multiple consolidation ranges, as you
discovered, you won't get the same pivot table layout that you'd get
from a single range. There's more information he

http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot08.html

Perhaps you can store the data on one worksheet, and create the pivot
table from that. You may want to add a column to identify a region or
salesperson, if that's why the data is currently on separate sheets.

Hi everybody

The problem about the menu is solved. But please keep on reading, as i have
further questions.

Roger: I didn't press the +, but as I got the message I just stopped typing,
as I thought I couldn't continue. This was a funny problem, because there
wasn't any problem at all - just a misunderstanding of the message.

Thank you everybody for your help.

But as I wrote above, I have further questions. Now I have made a pivot
table based on multiple data areas, but it seems to be the case, that it
isn't possible to drag and drop rowfields and columnfiels as I would like,
just like in Excel 2003. Do any of you have a solution for that. I cannot use
the consolidated pivottable, unless I can reorganize the data.

Kind regards

Hi Kenneth

Just a thought. Although I posted Alt+D+P, the "+" signs do not have to
be pressed.
It is just hold down the Alt key, then whilst this is held down, press D
followed by P, or maybe for your Danish version, DV

Your translation of the message is perfect, and this show up on my
system too, but only as information, not a warning that the operation
cannot be carried out. That's what made me wonder if you were typing a
"+" after D, which would cause the computer to "beep" and not allow you
to continue.

Hi all of you

Peo: Thank you for your answer. It seems that I was wrong about
Debra's
answer (sorry Debra). But my problem is, that when I will press the
Alt+D+P
Excel tells me something like (translated from danish to english the
best I
can) "Office 2003 shortcut: Alt,D. Keep pressing the sequense from the
Office
2003 menu, or press Esc to abort"
This happens before i get to pressing P.

The easiest would be to do as Excel 2007 tells me - and keep pressing
the
sequense, but nothing happens when I do that.

It is a logical thought to open Excel 2003 and find the shortcut from
there
and use it in Excel 2007, but here it is Alt+D+V - and if I try this
shortcut, I get to the problem desricbed above.

I really hope you can help me.

Kind regards

No, it is the old wizard that Debra described how to add to the QAT
The new button is called "Insert PivotTable" but the there is one is
called
"PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard"
The latter will give you the option of selecting multiple
consolidation
ranges

To find out the keyboard shortcut for a Danish Excel, find someone
with
excel 2003 or earlier since Alt + D + P
is a command for the old menu system, Alt will active the menus, D
will
select the data menu and P the pivot table that is in the
data menu.

Hi Debra

Thank you for your answer. The things you wrote, only lead to the
ordinary
pivot wizard. To get the oportunity to create a pivot table based
on
multiple
areas, I think Rogers advise is correct, if it leads to the old
pivot
wizard,
because in Excel 2003 the wizard let the user choose a function (I
do not
know the english name for this function) where it was possible to
create
the
pivot table based on multiple areas. But my problem is, that the
keyboard
shortcut Alt+D+P doesn't work in the danish version of Excel 2007.

Therefore I would like to know what the menu path is, so i can
translate
it
to danish, and thereby find out what the danish keyboard shortcut
is.

Kind regards

And instead of a shortcut, you could add the PivotTable Wizard to
the
Quick Access Toolbar. In the English version, click the Office
button,
then click Excel Options, and click Customize
In the list at the top left choose All Commands
Scroll down to find PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard
Select that command, and click Add, then click OK

Hi Roger

Thank you for your answer. I'm using the danish version of Excel
2007,
and
the shortcut Alt+D+P doesn't work. Could you please tell me what
the
menu
Alt+D+P means. It would help me to find out what the danish menu
is.

Kind regards

Hi Kenneth

There doesn't seem to be the option for Multiple Consolidation
ranges
in
XL2007.
However, if whilst in a cell within any of your source table,
you type
Alt+D+P it will invoke the old PT wizard and you can select your
ranges

from there.

Hi

I would like to make a pivot table in a file, where the data
area is
in 15
other sheets in the workbook.

The problem is, that I cannot find the function in Excel 2007,
maybe
because
I have just got the new version of Excel yesterday, and haven't
got
used to
the new look.

In Excel 2003 there was a function during the creation of a
pivot
table,
where it was possible to create the pivottable based on
multible
areas, but I
don't think it was very usefull, because it wasn't possible to
make
the same
build up of the pivottable as in a pivottable based on only one
data
area.

I hope some of you out there can help me solving my problem.

Kind regards
Kenneth Andersen
