Pivot Table Building another report based on existing report pgv244 245

Creating A PivotTable Based On An Existing report

When we create a PivotTable based on data in a data area, usually we will not use (drag) all the buttons (which represent the column titles of the data area) into the PivotTable layout. However, the remaining buttons are effectively available in the PivotTable we created, though hidden. So, we can use the same PivotTable report to build a new PivotTable which uses any hidden button.

1. At a cell in the existing PivotTable, right-click once. A floating menu will appear.

Available choices in the floating menu are :
	Format Cells...
	Format Report...
	PivotChart
	Hide
	Wizard...
	Refresh Data
	Select
	Group and Outline ▸
	Formulas
	Order
	Field Settings...
	Table Options...
	Show Pages
Select Wizard...

2. The PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard appear. Step 3 of 3 dialog box will appear :
PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard - Step 3 of 3			?x

Where do you want to put the PivotTable?
	New worksheet
	Existing worksheet
		ItemSold!$A$32

Click Finish to create your PivotTable.

?	Layout...	Options...	Cancel		Back		Finish
3. Under the label Where do you want to put the PivotTable?, select either New worksheet or Existing ting worksheet. If you select New worksheet, the resulting PivotTable will appear in cell A2 in a new worksheet. If you select Existing worksheet, you can click at any cell and the address of the cell will automatically enter the box below the label (The resulting PivotTable will appear starting at that cell. So make sure you don't click on any cell which will render its content be overwritten).

4. Then, click Layout button. From this step onwards you can continue as normal.
