Pivot

If I want to use Pivot on text-only table, are there any limitations? In the past I think it did not always like consolidating text.

RE: Pivot

Hi John,

Thank you for the forum question.

I haven't had any problems consolidating text strings in a pivot table. Of course it is only possible to count the records.

If you have problems with a specific file let me know then I can have a look at it.





Kind regards

Excel tip:

Entering text in Multiple Worksheets

If you have a number of worksheets in a workbook that require the same information (data or tables) on each worksheet, this can be done as follows:

Hold down the Ctrl key and click one or more of the additional worksheet tabs (i.e. Sheet2, Sheet3, etc).

In your mainsheet (Sheet1) enter the required data or design a table.

When done 'Click' on the other sheet tabs and you will see that the information entered in Sheet1 is on all the other selected worksheets.

NB Do not forget to deselect the worksheets - otherwise you may add data to the main worksheet and all the selected worksheets will also have that data!
