Adding a new Totals Column
Submitted by jstadtler on 4 November, 2014 - 19:34Hello!
I'm trying to figure out how I can add a Grand Totals column to my pivot chart.
I considered simply making a grand total column that is not connected to my table, but after I thought about it, I need it with the table.
I have the Grand total row at the bottom of the chart, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to make a column on the end of my PivotChart.

Multiple Label Criteria - Pivot Table
Submitted by philipq on 21 October, 2014 - 14:45Greetings Friends,
Below shown is part of a pivot table.
The data range is actually huge to the range of 58,000 plus records.
These are call center data spooled from the server to excel.
Now, I need to filter only those in the labels that end with:-
FORD
JLR
FM
POC
FER
MAS
How do I go about doing so?
Can this be accomplished easily via some VBA method other than on a pivot.
Kindly refer to the attachment for the pivottable.
Regards,
Philip

Spread a yearly total evenly across chosen months using whole numbers only
Submitted by rkobeyer on 15 October, 2014 - 07:24Hi there,
I've been working on the holy grail of excel formulas to solve my current labor intensive excel work.
A startup company entrusted me to figure out their monthly orders based on a yearly total that they give me.
They also wanted me to take into account if the orders are spread evenly or "ramped up" incrementally over the year, depending on what they choose.
I created an excel solution that solved this, for a while. For example 10 orders spread evenly over 12 months was 0.8, or alternatively, a "ramped up" spread is 0.2 in Jan, 0.3 in Feb to 1.5 in Dec.

In column A there is there is a repeated account name that occurs every 2-3 rows.

Checking if two cells have a different value?
Submitted by Double-T on 11 October, 2014 - 08:05Hello, I'm trying to code a little program to check if my matrix is symmetric. I have a 96x96 table (with headers on row A and column one that should be counted out) that should be symmetric (e.g. B4 = D1, C4 = D3 etc...).
I accidentally modified some cells, thus it's not symmetric anymore.
I would like to identify cells that are not identical (symmetrically speaking), using VBA. I had a few ideas using While loops but couldn't get through with it :-/ Any help?
It's supposed to be a symmetrical matrix containing only ones and zeros with ones on the diagonal.
Please Help Me !!!
