Pivot Table

[scrummy]

Dear ALL,

I would like to check if I have an excel file which has a pivot table consisting of drop down list for eg: Cards Type - local, Foreign, co-brand.......etc.

If I would like to combine local and foreign together and termed as "Original", is it possible? I need to send the pivot table file to another person but I cannot show the split by type?

I was planning to edit it from the source file but I can't seems to find the source file from the same excel file.
Thanks.

If you go into the pivottable wizard (rightclick in the pivottable and select the Wizard) and click 'Back' once, you can see the sourcedata definition. Then click Cancel to avoid messing things up. That should show you where the data is coming from.

To combine two groups into 1, select both, rightclick and choose 'Group and Show Detail'. That creates a group for those two selected items. You can now rename this group and hide the separate parts so it shows as one item in your pivottable.

For eg: I want to group Cheese and Milk under Diary on my Pivot table results.

as far as I know, you cannot group elements in a data field, only in column or row headers.
So, in your example, you could group for instance the persons in a male and female group. But not on the data itself.​
