Default Pivot table and filter

Consider the table below. If you do a pivot table summing the qty of
Product, you end up with abc, with a net of 0, and ast with a qty of 0 also.
If I wanted to filter out results in the pivot table that were equal to
zero, how would I do that? I cannot find a way to set a filter, such as you
can do with Data, Filter, Auto Filter, and then filtering out the unwanted
values. It looks like to me that you should be able to do this without doing
an edit copy, and edit paste of the pivot table table into another sheet and
then setting up an Auto Filter in the way described above.



Product Qty
abc 6
abc -6
xyz 7
ast 0

You could query the table and filter out zeros there or you could add an
extra column to the table that will check for zero sum like

=A3<0

then you add it to the page area and from the dropdown you select TRUE

or you can run a macro that hides all zeros
