Thank you! It's great to know the video will be helpful to others :-)
Great stuff, thanks. I'm learning so much about pivot tables from you, and how useful they can be. I've been using Excel for years now, and have always shied away from pivot tables.
Great to hear, Ian! I'm sure you'll love PivotTables the more you use them.
Another great tip! If I could only learn as fast as you can teach!

Glad to hear that!
Thank 👍
You're welcome :-)
Superb
Thanks 🤗
YES, TIME SAVING
Great to hear!
@@MyOnlineTrainingHub Yes, and this wont work on combined Pivots as it doesn't show to add Calculated Field ? Appreciate your help on this as well.
Fantastic :)
Many thanks, Amrish!
@@MyOnlineTrainingHub Being Color blind , i find it difficult to match the colors against already existing Graphs.
I always land up making a similar graph but my legend will have different color. is there any way in excel i can find what color is used. so that i could use the same color formats.
Hi Myndy, your training's are truly amazing and incredibly helpful. Wondering if you could touch on a few advanced Pivot tables? I colleague of mine, prepares these robust pivot tables that including Vlookups and mapping data which confuse me and I could never figure out how he was able to complete them. Wondering if I could share one with you and have you comment. Thanks,
Great to hear you're finding my tutorials helpful, Justin :-) Please post your file on our Excel forum and I'll gladly take a look: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-forum
So first thank you for all the learning. I am hooked on these videos. Question however. Unless I am misunderstanding I am trying to do calculated fields/items and I think because I am creating a pivot table containing values from multiple tables the calculated items/fields is greyed out. Any work around for this?
Great to hear, Leo! When you're working with a Power Pivot PivotTable i.e. when your data is in the Power Pivot data model, you cannot use calculated fields or items. Instead you write DAX measures. If you'd like to learn DAX, please consider my Power Pivot course: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/power-pivot-course
Nice 👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice
Glad you liked it, Hari!
Great
Thanks, Sagar!
thank you didactic and useful. Please can you tell me if there is a way to build series with annual values putting in last month and taking out first one each month goes by with pivot tables?
Cheers, Andres! You'd need to use DAX measures in Power Pivot to create a rolling annual total. It can't be done with regular PivotTables, sorry. If you'd like to learn DAX and Power Pivot, please consider my course: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/power-pivot-course
Hi there
Thank u for this
Is is possible to add a line with customised field under a group subtotal?
Not sure what you mean, Ahmad. Please post your question and sample Excel file on our forum where we can help you further: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-forum
thanks for the Tutorial Video, I would like to know if it is possible to do the calculations for the grouped Fields
You can't add a calculated column in a PivotTable with grouped data. Instead you'd have to use Power Pivot and write DAX measures.
I had the same question. Calculated Items is a nice feature (and this is a great video), but I can't think of a Pivot table I have created where I don't use Date grouping. Which unfortunatley makes it not useful for me.
Hi, thank you for the video. What I want to know is, why should I use the Calculated Item in place of Calculated Field?
Thanks
Hi Hiruy, I explain this in the video, but you'll also find a written explanation with screenshots that you might find easier to follow: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-pivottable-calculated-items
great
I am not good @excel,your mastery in excel leaves me in ashes.
Hopefully you can learn some things and bring your Excel skills up to speed with my videos :-)
Amazing video.
I am curious tough, is it possible to unpivot in power pivot 😀.
I want users to selects all the columns and measure they need and then unpivot it to a straight table.
Thank you! If you double click on the value field in the PivotTable that you want to see the underlying values for, Excel will open a new sheet containing the table.
Thanks for the great tutorial. What I noticed though is that the calculated items can freeze Excel. Apparently, it can be very demanding for some files to run.
Any insights into how to overcome the issue?
Hi Evgeny, I've not experienced that problem, but if you're file is freezing then it might be time for Power Pivot and DAX measures insead.
Hi Mynda,
1stly, Thank You Very, Very Much for Sharing Your Invaluable Wealth of Knowledge with All of Us
🙏🏾
Mynda, I practiced Calculated Item and Calculated Field on My dataset.
For Calculated Item, I changed the order in Rows Area to change the Calculated Item formatting to % . . like You did in the video.
When I switched the order back, the % formatting again changed to number formatting.
🤔
In the PivotTable Options, the option "Preserve cell formatting on update" is selected.
Would You be able to suggest what could be the reason?
Thank You!
Best Wishes!
Sounds like you used the number formatting for the cells instead of for the field. Select one of the numeric cells you want to format > right-click > Number Format (instead of Format Cells).
Hi Mynda,
Truly appreciate Your prompt response 🙏🏿
I will be Grateful if You respond to the following OR even if You are not able to.
You already help Us so much 🙂
My PivotTable is as follows:
Rows Area - (1) Region (2) Order Status
Values Area - Sum of Sales
I created Calculated Item for Order Status.
To apply formatting, I switched the Rows Area to - (1) Order Status (2) Region.
None of the following methods help when I switched in the Rows area.
1st method - I select 1 of the numeric cell . . apply % formatting via "Number Format".
The % formatting gets applied to all numeric cells.
2nd method - I select the numeric cells of which I want to change formatting to % formatting . . click on the % symbol on the Home tab as it is shown in the video.
Thank You!
