Count values from Pivot Table
Sorry - I'm asking for help again!
Using Excel 2002 I have a sheet with many thousands of rows of data and I'm trying to use pivot tables to analyse my data as follows: Heres a sample of my data Date Product Qty Customer 01/09/2007 Apple 1 2317 01/09/2007 Banana 1 2317 01/09/2007 Carrot 1 2317 01/09/2007 Apple 1 2324 01/09/2007 Apple 1 2326 01/10/2007 Apple 1 2352 01/10/2007 Banana 1 2352 01/10/2007 Apple 1 2354 01/10/2007 Apple 2 2365 01/10/2007 Carrot 1 2367 01/10/2007 Apple 1 2370 01/10/2007 Apple 1 2382 01/10/2007 Banana 1 2382 01/10/2007 Apple 1 2382 01/10/2007 Apple 1 2383 01/10/2007 Carrot 1 2383 01/10/2007 Apple 1 2385 01/10/2007 Apple 1 2386 01/10/2007 Carrot 2 2386 Heres my pivot table Sum of Qty Date Customer Total 01/09/07 2317 3 2324 1 2326 1 01/09/07 Total 5 01/10/07 2352 2 2354 1 2365 2 2367 1 2370 1 2382 3 2383 2 2385 1 2386 3 01/10/07 Total 16 Grand Total 21 What Im trying to achieve is a daily count of number of items purchased. I don't care about who bought what item. i.e. 1 item 2 items 3 items 1/9/2007 2 1 1/10/2007 4 3 2 Can this be done using pivot tables, or am I barking up the wrong tree? I had thought I might need to create another pivot table based on my original one, however I cant analyse by the results in the €˜total column. As always, all help very gratefully received. My Excel knowledge is vastly improved thanks to this forum, but Ive obviously still got a way to go! Sorry it's such a lengthy question. Many thanks Les |

Count values from Pivot Table
One way .. add a helper col E in the source table
Label in E1: #Items In E2: =IF(A2="","",IF(SUMPRODUCT((A$2:A2=A2)*(D$2:D2=D2) )<COUNTIF(D:D,D2),"",COUNTIF(D:D,D2))) Copy E2 down. Pivot on the extended source table, place Date in ROW, #Items in COLUMN, #Items in DATA (as Count) to return the required results -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:18,000 Files:359 Subscribers:56 xdemechanik --- "lesg46" wrote: Sorry - I'm asking for help again!

Count values from Pivot Table
Sorry, correction to the earlier response ..
One way .. add 2 helper cols E & F in the source table Labels in E1:F1, eg: Int, #Items In E2: =IF(A2="","",SUMPRODUCT((A$2:A2=A2)*(D$2:D2=D2))) In F2, array-entered (press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula): =IF(E2<MAX(IF((A$2:A$100=A2)*(D$2:D$100=D2),E$2:E$ 100)),"",E2) (adapt the ranges to suit your actual extents) Copy E2:F2 down. Pivot on the extended source table, place Date in ROW, #Items in COLUMN, #Items in DATA (as Count) to return the required results -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:18,000 Files:359 Subscribers:56 xdemechanik --- |

Count values from Pivot Table
Hi Max,
This almost works! Heres the result I get with your formulas. date Product qty Cust. Int Items 12/01/2007 Apple 1 6057 1 1 12/01/2007 Apple 2 6058 1 12/01/2007 Banana 1 6058 2 2 12/01/2007 Apple 1 6059 1 12/01/2007 Banana 1 6059 2 12/01/2007 Carrot 2 6059 3 3 However it doesn't take into account the quantity of each item that the customer may have bought, just the number of times the customer number appears on a particular day. Somehow Column C (Qty) needs to come into play too. So that for customer 6058 I get the result of 3, and for 6059 I get 4. Im now way out of my depth, so if you can help further Id be most grateful.

In E2: =IF(A2="","",SUMPRODUCT((A$2:A2=A2)*(D$2:D2=D2)))
Try changing the formula in E2 to: =IF(A2="","",SUMPRODUCT((A$2:A2=A2)*(D$2:D2=D2),C$ 2:C2)) Copy down. Refresh the pivot. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:18,000 Files:359 Subscribers:56 xdemechanik --- "lesg46" wrote: Hi Max, This almost works!

Hi Max,
Have tried your revised formula but I'm afraid it doesn't work. I get this result date Product qty cust. Int Items 12/01/2007 Apple 1 6057 1 12/01/2007 Apple 2 6058 1 12/01/2007 Banana 1 6058 1 12/01/2007 Apple 1 6059 1 12/01/2007 Banana 1 6059 1 12/01/2007 Carrot 2 6059 1 All Column E changes to 1 and no item counts.

You may also use Calculated formulas and calculated items in pivot tables.

You may also use Calculated formulas and calculated items in pivot tables.
I'm not sure if that's possible in this instance. Given the OP's sample data as posted, how would the steps to do it using calculated formulas/items look like? (I don't know) Please free to mail your question to me at ... But wouldn't it be much better to benefit all (ie the OP & all other interested readers) if queries & responses/answers are kept online/visible here in the newsgroups? That's the way I understand it & practise. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:17,800, Files:359, Subscribers:56 xdemechanik --- |

Count values from Pivot Table
Hi,
How are you Max. I am absolutely in sync with what you say. The only reason I mention that statement is many a times it is difficult to understand the problem without a spreadsheet. I will nevertheless try to answer the question in the newsgroups itself. Thank you for the feedback. -- Regards, Ashsih Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "Max" wrote in message ...
