Hi all, I have a pivot table measuring our top suppliers spend by Category in Book 1. There are multiple Categories per supplier. Subtotals are listed at the top of each group. this pivot has 100 suppliers and is 430 rows. Please forgive the black crossouts in these images. Image 1 is the original pivot table based on source transactional data.
In Book 2, I need the total spend for each supplier listed. (only 100 rows)
Currently, I have linked Book 2 to Book1 using basic formulas:
"='[Book1.xlsb]Top 100 by Branch BU FY24'!A10" where 'A10' is the first supplier name in the pivot table in Book 1. This links to the entire pivot table.
Image 2 is in Book 2 and links each cell to the corresponding cell in the pivot table in Book 1.
As i am only after the totals per supplier (not the underlying categories), I then use autofilter to select only the rows holding data. This gives the same result in Book 2 as if the Supplier filed was collapsed in the original pivot table.
How can I achieve the same result of showing only the Supplier totals but in subsequent rows? That is, in Book 2, Supplier 1 will be in Line 3, Supplier 2 in Line 4, Supplier 3 in Line 5, etc
Image 3 is the desired result. Only the subtotalled Supplier spend shown.
I am trying to avoid using pivot table in Book 2 where the source data is in Book1. Turns out my users like to sort the data their own way and everytime they do, the formulas return crazy (their word) answers. Have tried explaining that its unwise to sort/shuffle data off a collapsed pivot table but the blank stares were mildly alarming.
