In this case I have done something similar, and have created my own PivotTable styles, and then saved the workbook as templates .xltx, including introduction sheet and print layout for some sheets added head and footer, and links to a couple of lists holding essential number /- names for categories. All in all it saves time end ensure a consistent in the way the different jobs have

THANK YOU! I've been an Excel trainer for over 30 years and using PivotTables since they first came out. I never did learn that you can set PivotTable defaults in the Options dialog box. I"m ecstatic because it never made sense to me that we had to change the PT layout every. single. time. to a specific option. Amazing!
Glad you can make use of it 😊

Hi Mynda, Thank you very much for sharing this. It would be nice if you make another video about pivot chart formatting tricks.
I always struggle with them because they change format when I use slicers, for example.
With Pivot Charts, you must clear all filters, then apply formatting. HTH.
Great!. 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! 😃
thanks you!
You're welcome!
Thank you! I did not know that pivot tables could have custom formatting. This is very helpful.
Glad I could help!
❤Yes.. useful and been there 👍😎✊
🙏
Thank you :)
You're welcome!
I use pivot tables a lot but I still learned a couple of things here which I hadn’t really thought about before. I’ll be amending my defaults after I press post!
Awesome to hear 😊
I love you so much ❤❤❤
Glad the video was helpful 😊
The number of times I have had a pivot table that I had to go and convert to just a normal data table and try to move over to the left the main field....
I had no clue you could repeat the labels and also TAB format which does what I was doing manually already. Wow. Great video =D
So pleased you can save some time with these techniques 😊
To change the headings, I press ctrl-h replace, type Sum of (no space after of) and leave replace with blank. This removes Sum of leaving leading space. Great if there are many headings.
Great tip 🙏
10:07 Oh, wow! I didn't even think about re-naming the "(blank)" to "" (nothing). I always went into the Pivot Table options in order to hide blanks.
Typing over the blank in the cell is just a shortcut to editing how the PivotTable handles blanks in the Options dialog box.
Pivot tables are my life. I'll take any of your design tips any day! I usually find myself using the pivot table for data analysis and then copying pasting the data to a static table so I can make it pretty/ready for consumption. Ok, I will try from now on just to use the Pivot table only.
The reason for the static table is I often have to insert rows of 'dates' with no additional data to provide a continuous timeline and the Pivot table doesn't let me do that (at least I don't think it can) without modifying the raw input data.
Glad this video was helpful. This tutorial explains how to make PivotTables display missing dates: www.myonlinetraininghub.com/display-missing-dates-in-excel-pivottables
Thanks
Welcome 😊
Excellent video, thank you! Suggestion: can you do a video teaching us tips on how to format the slicers for pivot tables. That would be great! Thank you once again.
Already done one here: ua-cam.com/video/KEZzGu1MIY4/v-deo.html
please we need more videos related to financial statements and finance trick....
I'll keep it in mind 😊
Forgot all about Default PivotTable Layout. Thanks!
Glad it was worth your time to watch 😊
Lifesaver
Great to hear 🙏
You sre so. Cooool😘
Thank you! 😃
Love to play pivot table...😀
Me too!
I had noted this video and woke up super early today to watch it. Everybody is all power pivot and pivot tables from data models today when really sometimes a regular old pivot table does the job. They look so ugly. I have been using Excel forever. I don't know why I never really explored the formatting options. I usually copy the data from the table and do the formatting elsewhere (smh at myself lol). Thanks for this vid.
Awesome to hear you'll be able to make use of these techniques!
Hi Mynda, Thanks for the great video. I was wondering why you mentioned having all row labels on for lookup purposes, while you can also use the getpivotdata function. I see there may be situations in which one is preferred over the other. Maybe a nice one for another video some day?
Thank you! GETPIVOTDATA can perform a lookup of sorts, but it's not as user friendly as XLOOKUP and for that you need row labels repeated. I love GETPIVOTDATA too. I did a video on it here: ua-cam.com/video/LDf_ORnSCu4/v-deo.html
I thought I i knew all there was about pivot tables and im no novice haha! Im definitely going to implement a few if these tips ASAP
Awesome to hear 😁
