Hi again,

So i'm trying to avoid having to update 3 different sets of pivot tables just because they have 3 different data sets...

i have searched and tried to control (manipulate) all of them with a couple of slicers (considering that i only need 4 different slicers, Current date, date range, campaign and sub-campaign)

now... the problem lies here

Datasheet 1 (worksheet1) has the following columns (e.g.)

Campaign, Sub-campain, date, slice, data1, data2, data3, etc...

Datasheet 2 (worksheet2) Contains:

Campaign, Sub-campain, date, slice, other33, other84, other54, etc...

and Datasheet 3 (worksheet3) contains

Campaign, Sub-campain, date, slice, stuff9, stuff5, stuff8, etc...

Is it possible to create 3 named ranges for these datasheets (data, other, stuff) and create various pivots from these even though they only share about 3-4 identical columns?

That way i can create as many pivots as i need (about 9) and control at lease the current date and date range with a single slicer.

or maybe you have an entirely different approach to this that you might want to share :)

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanx in advance

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
