Sometimes I want to sort numbers in a pivottable with the right mouse click ascending / descending. Unfortunately this doesn't work most of the times.

Who knows the possible reason and how to solve this?

Thanks.

Best regards.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Hi,

are you getting any error while sorting?

Actually, while sorting the column of a Pivot table, click on the data below the heading rather than he heading itself... Then, right click --> Sort --> choose ascending or descending based on your requirement.

Hi,

Thanks! I do not get an error. I do what you write down, but it does not ascend or descend. Any idea why?
