I am inheriting work in my new post and one task is to "tidy up" a spreadsheet
It contains many tabs of data, each tab laid out a little different.
The issue is making a dashboard to display the results in a good way using pivot tables.
Here is an example of how it kind of looks now.
As you can from above, the data for yes/no values has been put in the cells as "1" or empty for no. This does allow a count function to be ran, to add up total users for a certain area.
But trying to put that into a picot table is proving troublesome.
The issue I am facing is an IF statement. For example, I want the pivot table to show me all values for Alpha and Internal, EXCEPT is another column Standalone, has a 1 (yes/true).
Another issue is explaining this, I am finding it hard to exactly say what the problem is without flat out posting the entire spreadsheet which I cannot do.
The end game is to have a lovely sheet with pivot table slices to modify data and charts to display said data in a pleasing way.
Some side questions:
Can I have 3 tick boxes in 3 columns which act as the "1"/true value which can either be: You can select them all, or they can be set so only one can be picked and the others turn off.
How can I easily add drop downs to the columns cells? So rather than have 3 columns with only "1" in it, I have one column with a drop down with 3 choices.
Gah, I apologise to anyone who read this far without hemorrhaging.
