    Using Pivot Table Groups/Rows for separate chart series

    Hey,

    I'm running Excel 2010 on Windows 7 64bit SP1. I have a Pivot Table that looks like the following:
    • First Row Label is a person's name
    • Second Row Label is a date
    • The values column I have for these dates and people are a count of events

    This means I can see for each person how many events they did on each date.

    Pivot Table: I29Lufq.jpg

    When I create a line Pivot Chart of this data I only have a single series shown on the chart with a Y axis of count, an X axis of date and the line drawn from the 'count of events' values across all of my people and dates.

    Current Outcome:

    What I'd like the Pivot Chart to do is make each of the top level Row Labels (i.e. the person) a separate series in the chart. This way over the same period of time I can trend each person. I'm wondering, is there a way to do this by default? Right now I can do it by manually defining each series and the X axis myself, but as I scale up to lots of people this will become a massive time sink. Is it possible to define a series by Group or Row Label?

    Desired outcome:

    Thanks

    Hi Antipop,

    Instead of pivot image, can you upload an excel workbook so that forum members can give a quick try ? thanks.

    Hi antiPop,

    In order to get each person's detail on separate sheet, follow below approach.

    Put the field "person" on report filter option of pivot table.
    Now click on pivot table, go to Pivot table tools, Options tab -> options (on the left side) -> click on its drop down ->show report filter pages.
