Good morning, I hope this is me being really, REALLY thick! I'm trying to limit the output in a Pivot Table to values greater than n. The attached workbook is just a model of a much larger workbook that I created earlier this week where I was able to use the Value Field filtered 'Greater than...' n. My data changed the next day and I had fewer records but then couldn't get any records returned when I refreshed the data in the Pivot Table. What it appeared to be doing was filtering on the Totals row only - I deduced this by putting in a much smaller number. I have used the actual 'Filter' on the attached workbook, but that has involved selecting every value > n manually.

Please, please PLEASE get me out of this!

Many thanks,

Just another anomaly, is that I changed "General Medical Practitioner" to "G.P." in the data but the Pivot Filter still offers that as an option. I've attached a couple of screenshots to show what I mean.

Many thanks,

You can filter only row or column fields. The filter is removed if filtered field is moved to filters area.
However, you can:
1) temporarily put days as row field,
2) group by days: mark the beginning as 54.9, leave upper limit automatic, set step big enough to cover all expected data,
3) drag grouped field to filters area and untick unnecessary ranges.

Thanks Combo, it just strikes me as REALLY strange that I managed to cross the x & y co-ordinates and achieve what I wanted earlier in the week - although I'll admit that I probably put this in there, did something, moved something somewhere else and Heaven knows what!! I'm finishing for the day and we've got a Public Holiday tomorrow to celebrate VE Day, so I'll come back to this on Monday.

Many thanks,
