Pivot Tables In Excel For Mac: How to Create and Customize Them



Just purchased Office 2021 (Mac) - on the PC version for pivot tables - in the "Field Settings", under the "Layout & Print" tab, there is a "Show items labels in tabular form" - is this function available in the Mac version - I cannot find it?




Pivot Tables In Excel For Mac




You will also be able to open and use workbooks with pivot charts that were created on a Windows version of Excel. So if you work in an office where some users are on PCs and others are on Macs, you can now create reports and dashboards that will be compatible for all users.


Pivot Charts are connected to pivot tables and provide a visualization of the data in the pivot table. Since the two objects are connected, any changes made to the pivot table will be reflected in the pivot chart.


This includes filters. When a filter is applied to the pivot table, the pivot chart will also be filtered. We can use slicers to filter the pivot tables and pivot charts, and quickly create interactive dashboards that your co-workers and boss will love.


Checkout my free 3-part video series on Pivot Tables and Dashboards to learn more about pivot charts. That videos series was previously limited to Windows users, but NOT anymore. Excel for Mac users now get to enjoy all the time saving benefits of pivot charts.


I have created dashboards using excel pivot charts, used Power Query to clean and transform, and PowerPivot to create relationships in the data model to so that slicers work across different sets of data. All in Windows Excel.


A pivot table is a summary of your data, packaged in a chart that lets you report on and explore trends based on your information. Pivot tables are particularly useful if you have long rows or columns that hold values you need to track the sums of and easily compare to one another.


In other words, pivot tables extract meaning from that seemingly endless jumble of numbers on your screen. And more specifically, it lets you group your data in different ways so you can draw helpful conclusions more easily.


The "pivot" part of a pivot table stems from the fact that you can rotate (or pivot) the data in the table to view it from a different perspective. To be clear, you're not adding to, subtracting from, or otherwise changing your data when you make a pivot. Instead, you're simply reorganizing the data so you can reveal useful information.


To show product sales as percentages of total sales in a pivot table, simply right-click the cell carrying a sales total and select Show Values As > % of Grand Total.


You can easily customize a pivot table to fill empty cells with a default value, such as $0, or TBD (for "to be determined"). For large data tables, being able to tag these cells quickly is a valuable feature when many people are reviewing the same sheet.


Every pivot table in Excel starts with a basic Excel table, where all your data is housed. To create this table, simply enter your values into a specific set of rows and columns. Use the topmost row or the topmost column to categorize your values by what they represent.


Once you've entered and sorted your data, highlight the cells you'd like to summarize in a pivot table. Click Insert along the top navigation, and select the PivotTable icon.


Alternatively, you can highlight your cells, select Recommended PivotTables to the right of the PivotTable icon, and open a pivot table with pre-set suggestions for how to organize each row and column.


Note: If using an earlier version of Excel, "PivotTables" may be under Tables or Data along the top navigation, rather than "Insert." In Google Sheets, you can create pivot tables from the Data dropdown along the top navigation.


For example, you may notice that the data in your pivot table isn't sorted the way you'd like. If this is the case, Excel's Sort function can help you out. Alternatively, you may need to incorporate data from another source into your reporting, in which case the VLOOKUP function could come in handy.


- [Instructor] Pivot tables are a powerful and flexible Excel analysis tools. A pivot table lets you rearrange, sort, and filter a data set on the fly so you can analyze it from several different perspectives with a minimum of effort. In this movie, I will show you how to create a pivot table from an Excel table that is stored in your workbook. My sample file is the Create Pivot workbook. You can find it in the chapter 9 folder of your exercise files collection. This workbook currently contains a single worksheet and on it I have an Excel table with order data. And you can see that I have 10 columns of data, order numbers, date of purchase, and so on, all the way over to the total for a particular line. While this data set is detailed and complete, it's difficult to summarize it in an Excel table. It makes more sense to create a pivot table. To do that, I will make sure that any cell within the body of the table is selected, go to the Insert tab of the ribbon, and then click Pivot Table. Doing so displays the Create Pivot Table dialog box and it identifies the Orders5 table, which is the table that I had created here, so the data range is correct. And then I want to put the pivot table on a new worksheet so I will leave that radio button selected. I could, if I wanted to, put it on an existing worksheet and select the top left corner cell for it, but I'll just stay with a new worksheet. I'll click OK, and there is my pivot table on a new worksheet as well as the Pivot Table Fields task pane on the right. I will increase the zoom level of the pivot table a bit so you can see its contents more easily. Let's summarize what we have. On the left is a blank pivot table, there's no data. And on the right we have the name of the fields, order number, date of purchase, stock keeping unit, quantity, and so on. And we also have four areas. We have Columns, which provides column headers. Rows, the rows headers. Values, which provides the values for the center, or data area, of the pivot table. And finally, Filters, which don't change the arrangement of the pivot table, but allow you to limit the data that's displayed. I will start by displaying some fields inside of the pivot table to create an original arrangement. So I will go up to the field list here and I'll scroll down. I'll put the total in the Values area, and you can see that I dragged it from the field list to the Values area, and I get the sum of my total. Let's say that I want to have the product category for the columns, so I'll click product category and bring it down here. There we go for that, and then let's say I want to break it down by state. So I will scroll up and have customer state. I'll put that in the Rows area. And what I see is that my data is broken down by state and then on the column side I have different categories, batteries, grid tie inverters, landscape lighting, and so on. So as you can see, the data that I had in this huge table has now been summarized effectively using a pivot table.


In this guide, we looked at in detail how to group data in a pivot table using various methods. We hope you found this helpful. Please visit our free resources section to get more advanced Excel tips for free.


This tutorial shows how to add slicer to tables, pivot tables and pivot charts in Excel 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019. We will also explore more complex uses such as creating a custom slicer style, connecting one slicer to multiple pivot tables, and more.


Excel PivotTable is a powerful way to summarize large amounts of data and create summary reports. To make your reports more user-friendly and interactive, add visual filters, aka slicers, to them. Hand off your pivot table with slicers to your colleagues and they won't bother you each time they want the data filtered differently.


Slicers in Excel are graphic filters for tables, pivot tables and pivot charts. Due to their visual qualities, slicers fit especially well with dashboards and summary reports, but you can use them anywhere to make filtering data faster and easier.


Once you have a slicer, you can use it to filter the pivot chart data straight away. Or, you may want to make a few improvements, for example, hide the filter buttons on the chart, which have become redundant since you are going to use the slicer for filtering.


Once a pivot table slicer is created, simply click on one of the buttons inside the slicer box to filter your data. The pivot table will update immediately to show only the data that matches your filter settings.


You can also use a slicer to filter data that are not shown in the pivot table. For example, we can insert the Product slicer, then hide the Product field, and the slicer will still filter our pivot table by product:


Please keep in mind that it won't delete the slicer box from your spreadsheet but only disconnect it from the pivot table. If you'd like to restore the connection later, open the Filter Connections dialog box again, and select the slicer. This technique might come in handy when the same slicer is connected to multiple pivot tables.


To build powerful cross-filtered reports in Excel, you may want to connect the same slicer to two or more pivot tables. Luckily, Microsoft Excel provides this feature too, and it does not require any rocket science :)


  • Alternatively, select the slicer, go to the Slicer Tools Options tab > Slicer group, and click the Report Connections button.In the Report Connections dialog box, select all the pivot tables you want to link to the slicer, and click OK.



Now, you can share your worksheets even with Excel novices without worrying about the safety of your data - other users won't mangle the format and layout of your pivot tables, but will still be able to use your interactive reports with slicers.


Hi - is it possible to have a filter show up on each pivot table if a slicer is active (without having to manually add that field to the filter options?). I have a workbook with dozens of pivots and i am using a slicer to see different variations of the data. However, it's really useful to have the filter field visible just as an extra visible check on what's being shown (especially for review). Particularly if the pivots are across multiple sheets and one might forget the slicer is active. I really want to avoid adding that filter manually to each pivot every time we duplicate pivots. 2ff7e9595c
