i have a table of my main data, but i am wanting to be able to put it into a pivot table and filter it. the first picture below is a snippet of my first table. the 2nd picture is the pivot table and how it sorts it. notice i am sorting by product line, but when i filter "f,r,s" in the pivot table it returns the line items for "angles." it does the same thing when i filter by other product lines, it returns data for other product lines. a side note is that the main data table is all formulas, but i have tried to copy and paste as values, refreshed the pivot table and it still returned the same wrong data. any idea? thanks.
