Pivot Tables

Create Reports With GetPivotData Function -- Instead of using SUMIFS, COUNTIFS or AVERAGEIFS on the source data, you can quickly summarize data in a pivot table. Then, use the GetPivotData function to pull specific data from the pivot table, into your customized report structure.05-Nov-14

In this example, just 3 dynamic range names are used. There are versions with and without macros. Detailed Instructions  Sample File with NO Macros OR Sample File WITH Macros 03-Mar-14

DV0003 - Create Dependent Lists With INDEX -- As an alternative to using INDIRECT for creating a dynamic formula to define a range, you can use the non-volatile INDEX function. In this example, just 4 dynamic range names are used. Three are used to create the basic framework of the method. The fourth permits any number of subsidiary lists to be created to act as Dependent dropdown lists from the entry in the previous column, without having to define individual names for each list.

 DV0002 - Different Drop Downs from One Source -- Instead of using a different source for each data validation list, Roger Govier has created an Excel template with a method of using one formula to show different drop downs. RJG_Universal_DD.zip 39kb  22-Feb-09

DV0001 - Add Headings for Navigation -- Add letter headings in a long list of data validation items, to make it easier for users to navigate the list. Excel template file from Roger Govier. DataVal_Headings.zip 15kb  13-Dec-06 

Functions

Names -- Create Dynamic Ranges With a Macro -- As an alternative to using OFFSET for creating a dynamic formula to define a range, you can use the non-volatile INDEX function. In this example the dynamic range names are used to create a PIVOT TABLE, and to show a similar type of report constructed using SUMPRODUCT. In the sample file there's a macro that will create the range names automatically for you.  15-Feb-09

Filters

FL0001 - Fast Filter -- Type criteria in the row above an AutoFilter, instead of selecting from the dropdown lists.
