Many thanks, Mynda - this is brilliant. Coincidentally, I discovered only yesterday that you can format your PT in tabular form, so that it looks more like a database. It fills the blank cells on the left with row labels, thereby 'un-nesting' rows where you've got more than one data item in the rows. This is the main thing that always annoyed me about PTs . I absolutely get how quick they are at summarising your data, but it was their look and format that annoyed me. But now that I know this (and have seen you do it so easily) I think I'm converted! This will make it much easier for me to summarise data by account master (which has three dimensions, equating to three data items in the rows) for upload to SAP systems.

I'm a pivot tables man myself, they're great. I probably tend to use DAX more than pivots straight from the data (which I nearly always have in a separate location). One thing I think that is missing from pivot tables is the ability to enter data into them and overtype values. Their layout options are fantastic but it would be great if you could specify a "primary key(s)" on a row that allowed data to be added to a data source directly by simply typing over the values in your pivot. One of the scenarios I regularly encounter is the requirement to produce a Forecast. I present the Actual and previous forecast data by month (or whatever period) in columns and perhaps cost centre or whatever and values in the rows. I'd then like to overtype this previous forecast data with current forecast and "submitting" this would send my new forecast by month/costcentre to the original datasource, which could then be refreshed to show my new forecast, and perhaps make further changes. I feel that pivots have really got the advantage of having the exact presentation required (there really is no comparison in Excel), but lack that "two-way" communication that would make them truly interactive. If I were in charge of Excel, that would be my priority!!!
@MyOnlineTrainingHub4 жыл бұрын
I think allowing data entry in PivotTables would be difficult since the PivotTable is aggregating data, so how would it then disseminate the data back into the individual rows that make up the aggregated value? One of the great things about PivotTables is that you can't break them, unlike formulas that allow you to edit them. I'm all for keeping them one way, but perhaps you need another tool for your forecasts.
@ricos14974 жыл бұрын
@@MyOnlineTrainingHub Yep, valid points! You're right about aggregation, that's why I mentioned a primary key, which would essentially be a combination of one or more of your table values. You basically choose the level at which you enter data by aggregating your pivot at that level. Your Actual data might have invoice number, description etc, but your pivot would aggregate by CostCentre or Product level (or a combination of both), which would be the level that you budget and forecast at. By overtyping, your essentially adding rows/data at that aggregated level, rather than disseminating just as you often would a Budget or Forecast in a traditional finance system. I already actually use pivots for this purpose, but instead of overtyping, when they select a row, the data from that is copied to a line above the pivot where the user overtypes and submits. There are plenty of other tools for forecasts, of course, but if you're using Excel, there is nothing as flexible as a pivot for showing data by month with variable number of rows depending on department, region etc. Maybe I'll create an add-in that allows it!
@ricos14974 жыл бұрын

I couldn't compliment you enough on your videos. Have been enjoying them immensely. For what it's worth, some thoughts for future videos. My observation is that pivot tables are difficult (like many computer operations) because of the classic "Noun-Verb" problem. For example, do you enter .5 and format as a percent, or format as a percent THEN enter .5? Despite the laughs I get, most problems users face are ones of philosophical clarity ;) In your first example, the Sales person is a NOUN, and the amount sold is the VERB (how much they sold). We can't really understand anything without both noun/verb attributes. In itself, "dog" imparts no knowledge. Neither does "walk". Only together do they make sense. You can say both "dog walk" and "walk dog". A pivot table is a simple exercise in FLIPPING the emphasis, your subject, from one to another. Because we naturally think in summing columns, or doing math on columns, we need to flip the data depending on if we want to group/calculate on "dogs" or "walks". So when you "pivot", you change to thinking of amounts sold as your Noun (subject) and your salespeople as the VERBs, so to speak. The problem you mentioned in the 2nd set of data demonstrates this philosophical problem. Is a month a noun or a verb? In that case, it is related to the person or the amount sold? As you know, good data is about about not mixing attributes. The data should be an attribute of the Noun (salesman). This is in the same vein as you wouldn't put in a cell for Joe the Salesman "Sold 85 Units January" As they say, a little (philosophical/logical) preparation goes a long way! Maybe you can do a video on this fascinating subject, of how Excel has to make philosophical decisions about which preferences to favor in how people think. For example, Excel favors value first, data type second, whereas Access favors data type first, value second. That's a whole subject in itself I'm sure you can, or have, done well. Again, amazing videos. I wish I had half your patience ;)
@MyOnlineTrainingHub3 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for your kind words! You raise some interesting points that I hadn't thought that deeply about before. I will certainly try to keep that in mind for future videos. One struggle I have is being able to see things from a beginner's point of view. And even if I can see things from their point of view, I can't go back to the very beginning in every video. Instead I have to assume some prior knowledge or every video will be hours long!
@MaxoticsTV3 жыл бұрын
@@MyOnlineTrainingHub I'm 59, have been using Excel from the beginning. When it comes to pivot tables I always feel like a beginner, and a dense one at that. I can never quite get it. That's why I was hopeful that your video would finally make me smart ;) I seldom use pivot tables. I write VBA routines to transpose and calculate whatever I need. The stuff I wrote about, that's more me trying to think out loud than my having any truth. So anyone reading, please, just food for thought. I was working on a Python project a while ago and just wanted to do a simple flip of the table, but couldn't figure out how to do it. Pivots are meant to use a sum, average, count on the value because it is "tabulating". Another intellectual hurdle. I had to use a "first" type kludge. Anyway, thanks for the reply. If you do another video on this subject I will certainly get my hopes up again haha!

The part about poorly formatted source data is an excellent example of why the hardest and most labourious part of data analysis is often cleansing the source data to fix the mess that the people who provided it have made. No matter how often we say we want the data as it comes from the system in a tabular format they still want to fiddle with it. I once had to use my employer's grievance procedure to get a manager moved (and eventually sacked when he tried the same with his new business area and their data team hit the same problems) when he just wouldn't stop 'tidying up' the data before passing it on despite the data teams and his own management telling him not to. His actions took a 30 minute job to more than a day, and that's not counting the couple of days he wasted making the mess in the first place. He also couldn't get that Excel is colour blind so summations by font colour won't work and that if you provide someone with figures for October of one year and December of the same year you can't expect them to tell you what the figures were for November.

You can then see the date format it is expecting as this will be hard keyed in the formula. Then you can edit your date cell to use the same format. Hope that points you in the right direction. If you're still stuck, please post your question and sample Excel file on our forum where we can help you further: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-forum

@@MyOnlineTrainingHub Thank you Mynda for taking the time to reply. After looking again at the data model I found that the date field had a time stamp appended to the date. Not sure why. After some trial (and error!) I added "...&["&TEXT(Cell#,"yyyy-mm-dd")&"T00:00:00]")" at the end of the getpivotdata formula and it worked. Thanks again for your guidance 👏.

Do you know how I can used a fixed value in a formula on a Pivot Table?
@MyOnlineTrainingHub3 жыл бұрын
Hi Tien, not sure what you mean exactly, but this tutorial might help: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-pivottable-calculated-fields
@tientruong13463 жыл бұрын
Thanks for responding so fast! I'm referring to putting a formula in the Calculated Field. I'm trying to put in a formula that has a fixed value but when I add the field to the Pivot Table, it automatically Sums or Counts. For example I want to calculate Occupancy= # units occupied/# of units. The # of units never changes but the # of units occupied does. How can I calculate that on a pivot table? I'm creating the pivot table so I can create a dashboard.

Thanks Mynda, this is a great message! It helps me to remember “Keep it Simple”, Pivot Tables can get unwieldy very quickly without having a clear plan of attack as you have graciously shown us. I have learned a lot from your video, thanks as always and keep them coming!

Was not sure where to post my issue, so here goes. I am using a Mac Book Pro, and I have an Excel file thru the Microsoft Online. My file is a Personal Budget and Check Register. The check register is formatted as a table. I have made several pivot tables, some with monthly data, and some with yearly data. When I add more transactions to my check register, and then refresh the pivot tables, I am constantly presented with the pivot table columns not holding their formatted width. I have searched online, but cannot seem to get a concise answer. Please let me know if there is a solution.
