I have created an Income Statement (P&L) in PowerPivot. We have a dimension for U.S. state and I have added the U.S. State dimension as a slicer. Is there a way to batch the report and have PowerPivot create a pdf document for each state. Once the pdf is created it would have 50 pages. Otherwise the users would have the click the slicer 50 times and save it as 50 different files.

Thanks,

1. Use a date table and link your dates in each sheet to that dates table.
2. Make a Measure for the fields that you want, taking in consideration that the measure will be taking in consideration all the 999999 sheets (tables).

Once you have that measure and your dates table you can go from there, otherwise, the append would do the job each and every time.

best,

I just had a recent meeting with the people from Jet Reports and they are basically offering me a “lower version of the Powerpivot”, in other words I seee that their software is pretty much the same as Powerpivot but you need to create your own cube before playing with the data. I’m a data analyst who loves excel and powerpivot but I want to get something similar to the Powerview (mainly because of the relational picture files that you can related to some data), is there any way that we could get that functionality in Powerpivot? or is that only for Powerview and Pivot viewer?

Can anybody show me a chart with the differeces between Powerview vs Powerpivot vs Pivotviewer?

Trying to make a business dessicion on wether to get the MS Package or the JetReports thing.

Thx in advance!

I have build a report, with all kinds of results by month (Based on a Column that tells me which month, -I hav o actual date column).
What I do have is 3seperate Year, Month & Week columns.
My Goal is to build a Slicer, giving the end user the possibility to choose the view of the results by Year, Month or Week.

Can someone help?!

Background: I have started a large project in PowerPivot and got stuck in one silly problem. I believe this could be a FAQ on the section.

I have a a workbook with say about 36 worksheets [Eg Jan 2008, Feb 2008....Jan 2009, Feb 2009...Jan 2010...Dec 2010] each with same structure [10 Columns] containing 100,000 rows on each sheet.

Now i am trying to consolidate all of them and trying to import them in a PowerPivot table for yearly analysis but whenever i am trying to link each sheet it is creating a different linked table. How can i accommodate all of them in one single table? You know what i mean to say.

Yes, i know i can copy each sheet and then use the paste append one after another, but on that case if any of my source data changes then i will not be able to reflect it in the power pivot correctly.

I can copy all of them in a note pad and can import it but then again i will loose the flexibility of Excel for Changing data.

So is there any other decent way, where i can amend and import data on an existing power pivot table from multiple excel worksheet?

I really really look forward for this annoying problem.

Sami

Is it possible to build a Slicer with column headers, so if you select a different header your table/chart changes all data. ( example cost/order, sales/order)?

Thanks

I have bought Excel 2010 and installed the PowerPivot. I have an existing excel file in which I want to create a Pivot Table(PT).

I am getting this error repeatdely” Initiation of the data source failed”.
I am also unble to refresh my data. If I look at the PP window, the refresh windwon is no available. The refresh button on excel does not refresh the data. If I look at the PP option, and click to see the source of data, I can see the pivit name, but when I click the PT source Button,”The select a table, or range” is Not available. So where do I see my data? In the old version PT, when I click the source data, I can see the range and souce.

I do not know what I am doing wrong. Please help before I lose my patience and revert to the old PT version 2007.
What are the correct steps to create a pivot from an existing open file excel?

Which means upgrading to Denali first. Damn Microsoft, always leaving you wanting more…

That which you use at Pivotstream, is that a seperate installable package?
