I'm learning how to use the power pivot - which is an extraordinary improvement on normal pivottables. But I don't know the full capabilities. My challenge is this:
I have data arranged as follows (the real data is more complex):
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Activity[/TD]
[TD]Start Date[/TD]
[TD]End Date[/TD]
[TD]Total Effort[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]1 Jan 2018[/TD]
[TD]31 Dec 2018[/TD]
[TD]60[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]1 Mar 2018[/TD]
[TD]30 Sep 2018[/TD]
[TD]140[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]1 Aug 2018[/TD]
[TD]31 Dec 2018[/TD]
[TD]100[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
The output I would like to achieve would be:
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]J[/TD]
[TD]F[/TD]
[TD]M[/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]M[/TD]
[TD]J[/TD]
[TD]J[/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]S[/TD]
[TD]O[/TD]
[TD]N[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Effort[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[TD]45[/TD]
[TD]45[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
I think that PowerPivot could do something like this, but can't work out how. If someone let me know, authoratitivly, whether to persist with PP or whether I need to take a different approach I'd be grateful.
Many thanks
Peter
