Microsoft Excel

I have a very large database sheet with lots of rows for many invoices and some of the expense can be capital or expense.

The sheet contains many titles such as PO Number and description. A PO Number can cover many invoices.

I tried to create a pivot table so as I could analyse the data easier. I brought in US Dollars as that is the currency that I use. The pivot table brought in lots of blank lines under each with the total of the US Dollars on every line.

How do I ensure I get a good pivot table with not lots of blank lines with just the sum of US Dollars on.

Please can you email with a step by step to do it as I am really struggling and I have spent so much time trying to do it?

I really appreciate it.

RE: Microsoft Excel

Hi Tania

Thank you for using the forum to ask a question.

When you click into the Pivot Table, you get 2 Purple Contextual Tabs along the top, Options and Design.

If you click on Design you have the option top left “Subtotals”.

If you click on this and select “Do not Show Subtotals” it will remove the totals under every line.

If this doesn’t work, please send the file to forums@stl-training.co.uk and I will look at exactly what’s happening, then I can offer step by step assistance (Please keep the original and send a copy).


Kind regards

Excel tip:

Turn Function tooltips on and off

Excel 2002 (XP) and Excel 2003 have the Function tooltips facility. When you type in a function name followed by a bracket, for example, =IF(, a yellow box appears beside the function name and lists the function's arguments. This is very useful when you can't quite remember the order of a function's arguments or what the arguments actually are!

However, Function tooltips can become annoying. To turn them off, choose Tools|Options. and select the General tab. Then, untick the Function tooltips box and choose OK.
