I want to sort a pivot chart by descending values, while keeping a pivot table sorted by ascending A-Z. Whenever I try to sort one, the other automatically sorts itself. How do I stop this from happening?
One of the easiest ways to accomplish this would be to include a copy of your original pivot table on a hidden sheet or set of rows/columns. Then tie the chart to the copy of the pivot table, and not the original. I've tried to accomplish this before and so far this is the best way I've found to handle it.
