Pivot

If I want to use Pivot on text-only table, are there any limitations? In the past I think it did not always like consolidating text.

RE: Pivot

Hi John,

Thank you for the forum question.

I haven't had any problems consolidating text strings in a pivot table. Of course it is only possible to count the records.

If you have problems with a specific file let me know then I can have a look at it.





Kind regards

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
