I have data with 60+ variables and I would like to group the variables into different collapsible fields in pivot table similar to having different tables in the pivot field list instead of having all 60 variables in the same long list. A bit like creating sets, but allowing the set members to still be chosen individually.
I have tried splitting the variables into different pivot tables, but it's a tedious process to do manually and hard if not impossible to do automatically using power pivot. I have also tried to split them with perspectives, but that is a bit difficult to maintain, because the variables change over time and I would like to make it as easy to use as possible (the end user wouldn't have to touch anything but the charts or maybe some macro button). Is there a simpler way of doing this?
I'm happy with either powerpivot or normal pivot table based solution. Using VBA isn't a problem either.
Here is a link to picture that hopefully demonstrates what I am willing to achieve, grouping without splitting data into multiple tables http://tinypic.com/r/jrtq38/8[h=1][/h]
