Hi all, I hope someone can help... for this particular puzzle I prefer NOT to use Slicers or VBA codes (not sure if this is possible without VBA)

I have setup a hidden Pivot Table which I would like to be able to control based on a cell value on another visible sheet.

E.g., if I type in "Fruits" in cell A1 in the visible sheet, I would like the hidden Pivot Table to filter on items under category "Fruits".

My intention is to later link a check box or a list box (form controls) to the cell (or cells) to automate. Thanks in advance!

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
