Hi

I have  a spreadsheet which has many tabs at the bottom for different companies. Sheet1 is the master where all info is recorded on a daily basis, I run the macro and it copies the data to the relevant company tab, all that is ok.

Now I have been asked that a new page is created with just the contents of one column selected. So for instance column G needs to be selected from the master sheet and a new sheet created called MS,Aldi Separation and any entries that have figures to be copied to a new sheet. The list below was done manually by copy and paste from the master sheet to a new sheet added called MSaldi separation

Interesting. You were able to do it all in a Table.

I see you cleaned up his company data.

I would do 2 tweaks to your layout.

First I would put all the slicers at the top of sheet, ie move the "Fiscal year" slicer

Second, I would add a "Company" slicer.

Questions:

#1. what is the "Multi Acc Invoice"? Where did this column come from? I think I see it now, but is it really necessary?

#2. Why do some rows have various styles applied to them?

#3. Why the unreadable text color for most of the Fiscal year entries?

Stephen:

Do you need / want the amounts to be totaled?

Data entry is somewhat similar, but you need a separate row for each account type. This is a better format, actually the required format, for creating a pivot table.

D'oh! (head smack!) My mistake. I should have done this too (thanks for the reminder and inspiration Jeovany!) ...  So here is what his better formatted data looks like in a pivot

No spaces!

Notice that I put the "Designated Account" and "Fiscal Year" columns into the "Filter" area. This added the option to filter the pivot table in the upper right corner of the pivot. So you can filter by the specific account you wanted, and I picked one year, but if you need, you could also select all years.

I think this new pivot gives  you what you need.

(Yes, I am pivot crazy.)

Here is another example using the same pivot. I've filtered for "All" accounts to and one specific year, 2017. It includes a total for all accounts that year

Here is a link to my tweak of Jeovany's file

    I then went to pivot tables and then realised they had not updated, I then realised I had to click refresh. Is there a way of setting the pivot tables to auto refresh?

    Yes there are a couple of ways to set pivots to auto refresh

    @ Auto Refresh PivotTables

    https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-factor-6-auto-refresh-pivottables

    However, there is one tiny bit of functionality that appears to be missing: the ability of pivot tables to automatically update when information in the source data changes. Excel elects to wait and perform the updates when you are finished with the changes and give the “all clear” signal.

    PivotTables are designed to only refresh when one of two events occurs:

      *  You manually request an update via the Refresh button on the PivotTable Tools ribbon

      *  You set the pivot table to automatically update upon file open via the Pivot Table

    Hello to both of you and thank you.

    I have started looking at the overhauled data file.

    1 why am I unable to add a slicer to your file? I click to insert slicer and the box appears showing no connections found?

    2 I presume the pivot table needs re-creating?

    3 what is the purpose of the lists tab and how do I use it?

    Regards

    Stephen

    Sorry, I just checked back, 2010 does not support slicers. (I also found out the hard way in one of my own files).

    Which file are you asking about, AFIK the Pivot is in both

    The lists tab contains the list(s) of entries that are used in drop down lists, like the company name and account types (from Jeovany's file).

    Hi

    Your invoice number system  doesn't tie up to ours and it needs to, as this is written on the invoices.

    hi

    I have tried adding two new lines of data and noticed the multi account invoice line auto filled, but in theory as they were separate entries, why?

    June 30, 2020 y10.150 30/08/2019 Brown Waitrose £500.00 Multi Acc Invoice
    June 30, 2020 y10.151 01/09/2019 40 Shillings Infrastructure £300.00 Multi Acc Invoice

    I then went to pivot tables and then realised they had not updated, I then realised I had to click refresh. Is there a way of setting the pivot tables to auto refresh?
