How can I create a pivot table with the PowerPivot Measure being used for the rows?
Our take
Creating a pivot table that effectively utilizes a PowerPivot Measure, like "Slow moving date," can enhance your inventory valuation model. This measure helps distinguish between current and obsolete inventory by analyzing sales and warehouse data. However, Excel may restrict using dates as row labels directly in a pivot table.
Building an inventory valuation model. Basically, taking data from sales, warehouse inventory, and stores to find lower of costs/sales value. I'm also applying a obsolescence formula that basically just says "if we sold 12.5% of our all available units over the year, then mark it as current, otherwise mark it as the last date we received it in the warehouse". This measure is named "Slow moving date".
I'd like to use "slow moving date" as a row in a pivot table, but Excel says that value can't be a row. How can I force it to allow the dates as a row without having to copy/paste numbers only from a different pivot to make it work?

- Showing a row where no value existsI have a list of 5 countries we sell products to. And we split it into 3 product categories: internet, consulting services, phone. I have used power query to and loaded the connection into the data model, but not as a table within a worksheet. These are my total sales amount pivot tables: Filter: USA phone | 500 mill Consulting | 20 mill Internet | 30 mill Filter: New Zealand Phone | 5 mill Internet | 20 mill Problem: I need New Zealand to show Consulting and a sales amount of 0. There is no “consulting” row in the source data itself for New Zealand so “show zero values” in pivot table settings doesn’t work I figure I’ll need to create my own tables listing: Phone, Consulting and Internet as row headings. But how should I get my sales sums? I’m guessing doing xlookups using my pivot table is the data source is not best practice Do I scrap my pivot tables and load the power query as a table for sumif? submitted by /u/Interesting-System [link] [comments]
- Pivot Table Show Details not working, any idea?Hi there, I am facing with a quite unique issue I think. There are some pivots in an Excel file that we use for internal reports for the AP team. The issue is that for the pivots there are several filters applied on, like Intercompany filter or "is the amount negative" etc. but there is the most important one is the Vendor filter, there are numerous vendors excluded, and I was like okay let me just recreate the pivot from the ground, but that would take a bit too much due to the vendor filter. The main problem is that the show details is not working, if I execute a double click on the pivot's total cells then it is loading for a 0.1 second and then nothing happens. If I try it after I close and reopen the file, then it loads for 2 seconds, with the botom right text saying "Reading Data" but then nothing, same results. It is a connection based pivot table, I tried to copy and paste into a new sheet the Pivot, didn't work, I tried to Save & Repair the file, it didn't work. Any idea? submitted by /u/Strange_Cell1142 [link] [comments]
- Pivot Table top bar date filter doesn't update in chronological orderI have a an excel file which I had been building from scratch from a downloaded report every month and am trying to better automate since I do the same type of data filtering each month. I decided to create a table with the data that is linked to a pivot table which sorts and filters it into the format that I need as long as I manually adjust a couple things. However, whenever I add new data to the table, the date filter at the top of the pivot table does not show in chronological order. (Accountant working on April data and need to remove anything that was posted in May.) Theoretically I could use the timeline feature, but I'd rather not. I have resorted the source table in chronological order; I have removed the filter and re-added it in various formats. I've changed the data source, played with various settings. Is there a quick "fix" for this without manually creating the pivot table each time? I have several of these pivot tables on a sheet extracting different data sets sourced from the same table. In one of them, I need to see ONLY the items with a May date, so having to scroll through to check or uncheck the correct dates if they are out of order could lead to errors. Additionally, assuming that this can be corrected. Is there a way for an excel sheet to automatically add or remove row (by hiding or deleting, don't care which) as a pivot table gets longer or shorter so I don't have to guess how many rows I need to add before it cuts into other data below it? Sometimes I need 70+ rows and others only 30. I'm sure there's an overall better way to do what I'm doing. Thanks in advance. https://preview.redd.it/56optogx0qzg1.png?width=406&format=png&auto=webp&s=551180d29effbcfedb7038f60612e33f4e897d3d submitted by /u/inez6453 [link] [comments]
- Sum unique values in Pivot Table without Data ModelI have a spreadsheet that tracks the surgical cases our practice sees. In this spreadsheet, each case is its own row. Column A is the date. Column B is the primary doctor assigned to the case. Column C lists which doctors are present at the practice that day (ex: "Dr.X" or ""Dr.Y" or "Dr.X/Dr.Y"). The first case of the day gets a "1" in Column D. I am trying to use pivot tables to create a summary of some metrics for the surgeries. Part of the stats we look at are how many surgeries a doctor performed when there are two working that day vs just one. The issue I'm running into is when I try to run statistics by the month, filtered by Column B and Column C, I cannot get an accurate count of the number of days a doctor worked that month. If I want to run stats for Dr.X on days both doctors worked, Column D only gets added if Dr.X was assigned to the first case of that day. I know that you can add unique values by using the Data Model feature, but this isn't available on Mac. Is there any other way I can calculate this? submitted by /u/anarchybats [link] [comments]
