Pivot Table

Good afternoon,

Our Credit Manager is looking to create a drop down tab to select the categories of the Accounts Receivable ageing analysis which are currently presented in columns.

It is logical splitted between current / 30 days / 60 days / 90 days/ 120 and over with a total column at the right and a credit limit column and accounts names on the left.

The idea is that we can click the drop down and choose to see only 60 days and 90 days by ticking them for example without having to redo the pivot table.

We thought that a Pivot table and drop down would be the ideal way to pick this up but this did not work. Any suggestions ?

Regards,
Sabrina

RE: Pivot Table

Hi Sabrina

Thanks for getting in touch. What you've suggested sounds like it should work perfectly. Have you tried putting the overdue field into the Report section instead?

If that's not working, I'd have to see a sample of it to figure it out. My address is gary@stl-training.co.uk.

If you're unable to send it, in what does it not work?

Kind regards

RE: Pivot Table

Hello Gary,

Thank you for your quick reply.

Yes, I tried to put the overdue fields in the report section but not successful. The filters are coming on the top with all the values to be selected. Instead I would rather have one filters with the overdue fields to be selected.

Regards,
Sabrina

Excel tip:

Convert a column into row quickly in Excel 2010

Occasionally you might enter data into Excel vertically and then when you finish realize that actually it would look more clearer if it was represented in a horizontal format. If you follow these simple steps below, you can quickly change the data from going vertically to horizontally and vice versa.

First, select the column you want to convert into a row or a row into a column. Then right click and select Copy. Go to the sheet where you want to past this row as a column and select “Paste Special”. Remember to check the check-box “Transpose” and select “OK”.
