    - Lookup in dependent tables. I want to identify a unique part number for a light unit given that there are three variables associated with it. The variables are voltage, color, and steady/flashing. Each voltage has bulbs of different colors; each voltage and color has alternatives of steady or flashing. So I really need to 'nest' my lookups. However, I am not having any luck figuring out how to do it. The IF(AND ...) function looks likely, but I would have to make a very complicated formula. Seems I am making the atsk harder than I need to. In a way, I want to emulate the Online Autoparts application. When you have entered the Make (Ford Truck) the display changes and asks you for Year. Then it changes again and asks you for Body details. Finally it changes again and asks for Engine Size. Any suggestions? Many thanks. (Btw, I am using Excel 2003) Mike Tag: GetPivotData Question Tag: 505901

    - Conditional Formatting Can someone help please! I would like to format cell colors based on values that are in the cell. The numbers in the cells are alpha-numeric order numbers followed by a number of days in the sytem (e.g. x12345678-14). Some cells have up to 14 "orders" in it. How can I conditionally format the cell if the number of days is between 7-14 (green), 15-24 (Yellow) or >25 (red). I am using Office 2007.

    - Menu options When using excel some menu options that are not used frequently eventually are hidden by the system until you expand the menu, however when an option is used once that option is displayed again until the expiration of the display period and then it is hidden again. I want to hide options that are used infrequently, either by reducing the waiting period to hide again or by setting the option to hide manually. This functionallity would greatly improve my use of the product by using keystrokes rather than pointing with a mouse. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    - Summing a Column - Net and Absolute Values I've got a column of positive and negative numbers that I want to total in two ways : - net - ie just natural addition which I can do with the SUM formulae - absolute - ie the total being based on an assumption that all numbers are positive A slightly messy way (because of the design of the spreadsheet) is to create an extra column of absolute values and sum that. So my question is 'Is there are formulae I can use to do an absolute sum on those values directly?' TIA Rob Tag: GetPivotData Question Tag: 505855

    - pivot table help I've got a (non-pivot) table with 5 columns that looks like this: HRG POD yr1data yr2data yr3data HRG and POD are categories, and the figures in the 3 data columns are the values of interest. I want to have HRG as the rows, and then I want 3 main column headings: yr1data, yr2data and yr3data. however, there's only 5 possible values for POD, and I want each of the 3 data columns split into 5 subcolumns, each headed by a value of POD. I can get the pivot table with HRG as rows and POD as columns, but I only seem to be able to add the data by subdividing rows rather than columns, even when choosing 'column area' in the 'add to' drop down. any suggestions gratefully received Tag: GetPivotData Question Tag: 505853

I have reloaded all of Office 2003, repaired Office 2003, reset all worksheet options that I am aware of, and cannot get fill color or font colors to display in a worksheet. Also, I have reset display settings numerous ways and removed updates to no avail. Additionally, I have followed Office instructions to remove sheet.xlt and book.xlt, but never found either file.

    - Logical Test I have extracted text data format thus i cant perform any maths calculation on the data. Thus i tried this logical test to convert the data into number. cell A cell B cell C cell D cell E Cell F 4101001 NET SALES/PRODUCTS 172.641 172 641 172,641 4102001 NET SALES/MERCHAND. 641 641 0 6410 Cell C should read as 172,641 and 641. Since the value is text format, firstly i tried to pull the interger from 172.641 and mod .641 and which later combine these two result into number and reads as 172,641. i write this formula on respective cells, Cell D =INT(+$"Cell C")*1 Cell E =IF(+$C7>1,(MOD(+$C7,1)*1000)) Cell F= =(+O7&P7)*1 note *1 in formula to convert the text to number somehow, if the value in cell C is only 641, the result in cell F is 6410. Anyone can suggest the solution for a formula to suit these 2 situation? thanks in advance 4102001 NET SALES/MERCHAND. 672 Tag: GetPivotData Question Tag: 505828

    - Pivot tbl rpt-how to return text in a field vs. a sum/count value New to pivots & discussion groups - please be kind! Trying to use a pivot report for scheduling.

    - pivot table filtering not working I have a cube that I am accessign from Excel 2007 pivot table. I have a date dimension that I need to filter on in my reports, but excel is not completely seeing this column as date values. It will tell me to apply a date filter, but any filter and combo of values I use blanks out my entire result set. When I use the revers boolean logic, I get the entire result set back, nothing filtered out. When I select indvidual values from the multi select box, that filters everything ok, and when I use the canned "All dates in the period" section, that filters the data as expected as well. But of course I need to be able to filter starting in the middle of a month and end in another month. Any ideas on how to either get Excel to treat the data as a Date value so it will filter correctly, or force a lable filter up so I can use that? thanks in advance!!

    - Two-variable Data Table - Problem with result/output Hi all. I'm having a problem with a two-variable data table. I have verified that I correctly have a formula driving the data table, and my 'base' inputs for the two variables are hard-coded in the table. I have multiple data tables in my workbook and all but this one seem to be working correctly; the table I'm having the problem with is essentially an Earnings Per Share table (specifically, what happens to EPS if the company repurchases X number of shares at X buy-back price--the # of shares repurchased and the share buy-back price are the variables). The Row output seems to be correct - EPS decreases accordingly based on # of shares repurchased (as it costs us more $ to buy more shares, therefore, EPS should decrease); however, the column output (EPS based on buy-back price) is staying the same at all levels of the # shares purchased, when it should increase as the # shares repurchased increases (because there will be less shares outstanding to split up profit between). I cannot figure out why this is not working...help. Tried to paste the matrix below for your reference, but the system was not letting me (rec'd a message stating 'inappropriate text found in text' !). Tag: GetPivotData Question Tag: 505791

    - IF Function with ISBLANK Hello, I'm hoping someone can figure this out. I am trying to add a value to B1 using the following: I started out with =IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",8) A1 will either be blank or contain a date. As an example I want to change the above so that if I enter in A1 the date of May-7x the the value in B1 will return a 4. And if I enter the date of May-7z into A1 then the value returned in B1 should be 8. So to summarize, B1 should either be blank, contain a 4 or contain an 8. I think the key is that I need to define a wild card (if possible) to look for either the 'x' at the end of the date to bring back '4' or a 'z' at the end of the date to bring back an '8'. Its a bit confusing to explain, hopefully you can understand. -Thanks Tag: GetPivotData Question Tag: 505763

    - Single Quote use in cell reference I am trying to decifer a spreadsheet prepared by someone who has left the company. They used the following cell reference, which appears to reference an outside spreadsheet without using the full spreadsheet name, ='AR ''06'!G414. What do the two separate items in single quotes do. I can't figure out what 'AR ''06' is? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank You, Tag: GetPivotData Question Tag: 505695

    - Formula Halp - If or Lookup I am not sure how to get the results I am looking for, and if it is better to use an if statement or a lookup funtcion (which I have never used before). Data Information: Column "AO" contains one of 5 names Based on looking at these names, I want a formula that puts one of 5 corresponding intials in column BA. Any formula suggestions would be truly appreciated!! Tag: GetPivotData Question Tag: 505691

I have the following GetPivotData formula

=GETPIVOTDATA("Sum of ProjEstV.Value",'Validated Value Pivot'!$A$6,"Status
Month","2008-04","Sum.OI Category","Other","OI Goal
Category","OPS","CloseOIYr","","Status","Assigned")

Which works fine. I just don't want to use the part
"Sum.OI Category","Other"

So I get

=GETPIVOTDATA("Sum of ProjEstV.Value",'Validated Value Pivot'!$A$6,"Status
Month","2008-04","OI Goal Category","OPS","CloseOIYr","","Status","Assigned")

which gives me a REF error. WHY?
Thanks,

You've removed a field name and item from the formula, but unless the
pivot table structure also changed, there won't be a summary cell in the
pivot table that matches the fields and items left in the formula.

If you take Sum.OI Category out of the formula, it would also have to be
removed from the pivot table layout, or moved below the fields remaining
in the formula.
