Hello all,

I have a database which I need to convert and summarize as a pivot table. Until there all fine, but my issue is the data is organized in columns, meaning each column represent a month.
I wanted to have a slicer that is capable of automatically change the month - in this case the column in which the data is being read. Does any one know if this is possible :confused:

So basically once, the table above is summarized in a pivot I have to manually select which months am I reading, while I wanted to have a slicer that automatically updated which column is the data being read.

Thanks,
S
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Excel is based on columnar/transactional data. Your data confounds that method already being in a "Pivot Table" like layout. Your data needs to un-pivoted first.
You can find macros to perform the unpivot as well as a method using the PivotTable wizard.
However, if you have Excel 2016, there is a new feature for everyone called Get & Transform which has a Unpivot capability to it. Get & Transform was Power Query in previous Pro+ and Enterprise versions of Excel.
