So I am creating a pivot table/chart from a large set of data I have.

For this chart I am trying to see the top 10 "count" of a certain column. So I choose the Value filter Top 10. Great, works as you would expect.

However, on a lot of the rows, there is "N/A" as an entry, and these make up the number 1 spot on my chart as there are far more N/A than other entries. Is there a way I can display the top 10 but no count the N/A, so the 10 ten actually starts from the second most popular entry and goes to the 11th?

I have tried creating the top 10 value filter, and then filtering out N/A, but this just seems to replace the top 10 filter and shows everything apart from N/A

Hope this makes sense

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Can you post a mini workbook with your data source and pivot table with the xl2bb add in, please?
It would help the forum in testing out solutions to your scenario.

I found what I needed, you need to go into the Pivot Table Options and allow "multiple filters" setting
