    Why can't I have a slicer in my pivot chart

    Hi,

    I have a pivot chart but it wont allow me to have a slicer. I can't see any differences in any of the other pivot charts I have.

    Does anyone have any reasons for why this could be?

    Thanks.

    Sorry, but Slicer is not available on Excel versions prior to 2010

    Not in 2007, you haven't. If you're using 2010 or later, please update your profile...

    You may not use slicer in .xls file. Also if pivotcache is older version it must be upgraded I think.

    Ahh briliant thanks. Can I ask you another question?

    How do you automatically choose it to go from 'count of' to 'sum of'?

    Re: Why can't I have a slicer in my pivot chart

    If data in the field is all numeric, Sum will be automatic; otherwise Count. You may not change this, however you may use code to reset fields - as I showed you before.
