Excel pivot tables

Hi Mark

I have a question about pivot tables. I have 2 files that use them and they don't seem to work as I think they should. In one case the months don't come in number order and in the other the pivot table goes horizontally and I would prefer it to be vertical. Can I send you the files to have a look please?

Thanks
Phil

Hello Phil,

Send the files over and we'll have a look.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.

Hello Phil,

It would be a start if you could send a sample of what you have so we can look and decide if we can solve the layout issue you are having.

Have a great day.

I still do not have an email address that I can send the file to. I cannot describe it in words, you need to see the file.

PS I was away on holiday for a week.

Excel tip:

Creating a range of monthly payments as text

You could use a formula to create a range of payment ie. payment amount for x% to y% rate with fixed terms and principle.

The text that would be "between Xamount and Yamount".

Here is how to do it.

1 Use the PMT function to get your monthly payments figure or whatever frequency of payments that you choose he start range.

See PMT under Excel Help

2. Nest these in the ROUND function to round decimals see ROUND under Excel Help


3. Concatenate this using "&" and concatenate " to " and concatenate "Between ".

4. Concatenate the above to PMT function for the end range

ie.

="Between "&ROUND((PMT1),decimal places)&" and "&ROUND((PMT2),decimal places)
