Can numbers perform pivot tables

can you create pivot tables on numbers the same way you can with excel?

No no pivot tables in numbers.... however...
Pivot tables are generally a fast method of using functions already existing to perform summarization, therefore even though they do not exist as an automatic function in numbers, you can use the basic CountIF, SumIF, etc... functions in a table you make to perform the same functionality. This has been done by many of us over the years and it works fairly well. You lose some of the "pivot" ability and no drag and drop. so it takes a little more planning beforehand.

  • Multi-level UPCs (I can do as pivot table in Access and Excel, but not SAP)

    I'm working for a shoe manufacturer. We've got inventory that can be grouped into "cases" as well as "open-case" in regards to UPCs. We're able to apply the UPC to individual items such as open-case stock OR case-only, but we can't figure out how we can add the groupings needed to add UPCs to individual items AND the cases associated with each shoe/size. Here's a little more detail: We sell shoes in cases, MOSTLY. Occasionally, we have a shoe model that will sell as open-case. The cases (which have a UPC) contain an assortment of sizes (each of which has its own UPC). We need to be able to access the information for the associated cases when looking at a product and when on a case, we need to see the make-up of the case - such as associated sizes, qty contained, and their respective UPCs. I know we could easily do this in Access or Excel using pivot tables... Is this POSSIBLE in SAP Business One???

    You may check Sales BOM function to see if that meet your need. The case can be set up as an Sales BOM item.

  • How Can I Add Pivot Tables of Excel Into JSP Pages

    Hello all,
    Basing upon a query to database, i wanted to add a Microsoft Excel pivot table functionality in JSP page [with the result of query].
    Is it possible to create a Pivot Table in JSP with dynamic data from database ??
    Can any body help me in solving this issue ???
    Thanks & Regards
    Krishna

    There are a few alternatives to doing this (depending on the clients you are serving this page up for).
    Going the pure HTML
    There is an open source project called JPivot which provides an HTML front end for Pivot Table (using tag libraries)
    Going the Microsoft Office route there are a few options:
    1) POI HSSF ( http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html) allows you to "update" an existing Pivot table by replacing data values contained in a template pivot table.
    2) Use the open source XELEM api (xelem.sourceforge.net) which produces SpreadsheetML (Micorsofts current XML file Format). At present, I don't believe this handles creating a pivot table from scratch (you have to manually create the Pivot Table template, read in the template (with XELEM) and update the data values in the template before writing it out. (the same holds true for POI)
    3) Commercially the company I work for (www.workbeans.com) is writing a pure Java Pivot Table API that will allow you to create a Pivot Table in the Excel SpreadsheetML file format from scratch. (supported by Office 2000, XP and 2003). The Pivot table functionality isn't slated until a future release (Oct. 2005), so if you can wait until then we could help you further.

    while creating a report i am getting error in Table view,if i create a same report in pivot view it is working fine in pivot view.
    after this i want to add this view to the compound view then i will have to delete the table view from the compound view .but while adding the pivot view to the compound view it is throwing error because by default compound view has only table view and tital view.it is not allowing me to add pivot view to the compound view.
    can anyone suggest me is there any other way i can add the pivot view to compoud view i want to view the title view and pivot view only in the compond view.(here the problem is i am unable to add pivot view to the compound view because error in the table view)

  • Excel Pivot Table with Date Hierarchies - query performance degradation

    For the sake of this explanation, I’m going to try and keep it simple. Slicing the data by additional dimensions only makes the issue worse. I’ll keep this description to one fact table and three dimensions. Also, I’m fairly new to SSAS Tabular; I’ve worked
    with SSAS Multidimensional in the past.
    We’ve got a fact table that keeps track of bill pay payments made over time. Currently, we only have about six months of data, with the fact row count at just under 900,000 rows. The grain is daily.
    There is an Account dimension (approx. 460,000 rows), with details about the individual making a payment.
    There is a Payment Category dimension (approx.. 35,000 rows), which essentially groups various Payees into groups which we like to report on: Automobile Loan, Mortgage, Insurance, etc.
    There is the requisite Date dimension  (exactly 62093 rows-more days than we need?), which allows visibility as to what is being paid when.
    Using this DW model, I’ve created a SSAS BISM Tabular model, from which Excel 2010 is ultimately used to perform some analysis, using Pivot Tables. In the tabular model, for easier navigation (doing what I’ve always done in SSAS MultiDimensional), I’ve created
    several Date Hierarchies, Year-Month, Year-Quarter-Month, etc.
    There are currently only two measures defined in the Tabular model: one for the “Sum of PaymentAmount”; one for the “PaymentsProcessed”.
    OK, in Excel 2010, using a Pivot Table, drag the “Sum of PaymentAmount” measure to the Values section, next to/under the PivotTable Field List. Not too exciting, just the grand total of all Payments, for all time.
    Drag the “YearMonth” hierarchy (from the Date dimension) to the “Column Labels” section. After expanding the year hierarchy to see the months, now the totals are for each of the months, for which we have data, for June through November, 2013.
    Drag the “PaymentCategory” (from the Payment Categories dimension) to the “Report Filter” section. Filter accordingly: We just want to see the monthly totals for “Automobile Loans”.
    Now, some details. Drag the “AccountSK” (hiding the actual account numbers) to the “Row Labels” section. This shows all accounts that have made Automobile Loan payments over the last six months, showing the actual payment amounts.
    So far, so good. Remember, I’m using a Date Hierarchy here, in this case “YearMonth”
    Now, if any of the other attributes on the Account dimension table, say “CreditScore”, or “LongName”, are subsequently dragged over to the “Row Lables” section, under the “AccountSK”, the results will never come back, before timing out or by giving up and
    pressing ESCape!
    If this exact scenario is done by removing the Date Hierarchy, “YearMonth” from the “Column Labels” and replace it with “Year” and “MonthName” attributes from the Date dimension, these fields not being in any sort of hierarchy, adding an additional “Account”
    attribute does not cause any substantial delay.
    What I’m trying to find out is why is this happening? Is there anything I can do as a work around, other than what I’ve done by not using a Date Hierarchy? Is this a known issue with DAX and the query conversion to MDX? Something else?
    I’ve done a SQL Profiler trace, but I’m not sure at this point what it all means. In the MDX query there is a CrossJoin involved. There are also numerous VertiPaq Scans which seems to be going through each and every AccountSK in the Account dimension, not
    just the ones filtered, to get an additional attribute (About 3,600 accounts which are “Automobile Loan” payments.).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks! Happy Holidays!
    AAO

    Thanks for your reply Marco. I've been reading your book, too, getting into Tabular.
    I've set up the Excel Pivot Table using either the Year/MonthName levels, or the YearMonth hierarchy and then adding the additional attribute for the CreditScore.
    Incidentally, when using the YearMonth hierarchy and adding the CreditScore, all is well, if the Year has not been "opened". When this is done, I suspect the same thing is going on.
    From SQL Profiler, each of the individual MDX queries below (formatted a bit for readability).

  • Can any one tell how to create pivot table

    Hi ,
    Am trying to create a pivot tabel in the MDM Import Manager. Iam able to see the preview of the pivot table which i want to create. But when i try to click "OK" button, an error message getting displayed like...
    "The new table cannot be created because the data source is not updatable.You may need the data source to an updatable format such as Microsoft Access before proceeding".
    Due to the above error am not able to create pivot table, plz let me know if any one know how to solve this problem
    Thanks & regards
    Praveen k

    Hi Praveen ,
       The solution to your problem is -
    The data source must be updateable in order for MDM to
    create the new pivot or reverse pivot table. However, you can still
    perform the steps leading up to table creation – including the preview –
    even on a data source that is not updateable, so that you can explore
    pivoting or reverse pivoting as a transformation option. If you then
    decide you want to actually create the new table, convert the data
    source into a format that is updateable (such as Microsoft Access) and
    perform the pivot or reverse pivot on the new data source.
    To create a pivot table, you must identify the source fields that
    participate in the pivot, which ones contain metadata and which ones
    contain data, which ones must be combined, the one-to-one
    correspondence between metadata and data fields and/or field
    combinations, and the key field or fields.
    To create a pivot table:
    1. In the drop-down list of source tables, make sure the table you want to
    pivot is the current source table.
    2. In the Source Hierarchy tree, select all the field nodes corresponding to
    both the metadata fields and the data fields by which you want to pivot.
    3. Right-click on one of the nodes and choose Create Pivot Table from the
    context menu, or choose Source > Create Pivot Table from the main
    menu
    4. MDM opens the Create Pivot Table dialog
    5. In the Key Fields dual-list drop-down control, move one or more fields
    from the Available Fields list to the Selected Fields list to identify the
    key fields on which to perform the pivot
    6. In the dual-list control of fields, drag-and-drop the data fields from the
    Field Values Become Field Names list to the Field Values Become
    Field Values list
    7. If necessary, select two or more fields in either list that must be
    combined into a field combination, and click on the Combine button, or
    right-click on one of the fields and choose Combine from the context
    menu
    8. If necessary, drag-and-drop fields or field combinations within each list
    to create the one-to-one correspondence between metadata fields and
    data fields.
    9. Click on the Preview button to display a preview of the first ten records
    of the pivot table
    10. When you have verified that the pivot operation you have defined will
    have the desired effect, click OK to close the Create Pivot Table dialog.
    11. The MDM Import Manager creates a new table named “table <Pivot>”
    in the data source (where “table” is the name of the original source
    table).
    12. In the drop-down list of source tables, select the newly created pivot
    table on which to perform subsequent import processing.
    Hope that helps ...

  • UI performance testing of pivot table

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a tool that I can use to do performance testing on a pivot table. I am populating a pivot table(declaratively) with a data source of over 100,000 cells and I need to record the browser rendering time of the pivot table using 50 or so parallel threads(requests). I tried running performance tests using JMeter, but that didn't help.
    This is what I tried so far with JMeter:
    I deployed the application in the integratedweblogicserver and specify the Url to hit in JMeter ( http://127.0.0.1:7101/PivotTableSample-ViewController-context-root/faces/Sample) and added a response assertion for the response code 200. Although I am able to hit the url successfully, the response I get is a javascript with a message that says "This is the loopback script to process the url before the real page loads. It introduces a separate round trip". When I checked in firebug, it looks like request redirect of some sort happens from this javascript to another Url (with some randomly generated parameters) which then returns the html response of the pivot table. I am unable to hit that Url directly as I get a message saying "session expired". It looks like a redirect happens from the first request and then session is created for that request and a redirect occurs.
    I am able to check the browser rendering time of the pivot table in firebug (.net tab), but that is only for a single request. I'd appreciate it if anyone could guide me on this.
    Thanks
    Naveen

    I found the link below that explains configuration of JMeter for performance testing of ADF applications(Although I couldn't find a solution to figure out the browser rendering time for parallel threads).

  • How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?

    hi all,
    How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?

    thnx..

    A little search on the forum :

    Within the <PivotView> element add an entry that looks like:

    where nnnnnn is your desired limit for the maximum total number of cells allowed
    in a pivot.

  • How do I create a pivot table in numbers?

    How do I create a pivot table in numbers?

    SO HERE'S WHAT I GOT TO WORK:
    Truth is all the real functionality of categories and pivot tables exists in the formulas. You just have to
    Create a new table with a list of the categories in the header column.
    Add SUMIFS() formula from the browser into the next column.
    Enter your arguments and make sure to check "Preserve Column" for each of them.
    Although it might not be apparent, you can enter multiple test value and condition pairs.
    While I admit the formulas are not nearly so graphic as categories, they are cleaner and less restricting, and they aren't any more difficult to work with than pivot tables.

  • Can I 'explain' data in a pivot table?

    Hi All.
    I have a request that has baffled me.
    I need a way to use 'text' to describe the results of a report. If I were doing a simple report,
    this would be a non-issue. Here are my hurdles:
    I have a report that uses a Union via Set Operations (so I'm combining two result sets).
    The results are then shown in a pivot table.
    Within the pivot table, variances were created using 'New Calculated Item' under measures.
    I want to be able to display in a narrative, or some other magical technique, the results of theses calculated items.
    Data Example:
    <pre>
    Date1 Date2 Variance Variance%
    Total Sales 10 20 10 50.00
    Sales have increased 50% compared with last quarter. (<- desired result)
    Today, I can show @1, @2 etc, but it only shows the columns under 'Date 1'.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Cindy

    First, if you design a report correctly (e.g., accurate and descriptive headers, etc.), you greatly reduce the need for an "explanation of data." It should be intuitive. If it is confusing to understand, the design of the report should be looked at. (Is this report illustrating what the user needs to see? Should I use a graph instead of a table or vice-versa? Am I reporting on the right metrics?)
    That being said, it may be helpful at times to have a narrative to give an overall view of what the report displays. For this, you have the Narrative View to explain whatever might make the report more useful to the end-user. For example, you may have them note certain conditions and what that would mean, etc. (Conditional formatting would be great for this, unless you are considering cross-column conditioning in which case conditional formatting doesn't work.*)
    But if you are looking for row-by-row explanations where you use the data in the row as part of the "explanation" (as inferred by your inclusion of @1 and @2, etc. in your question), then I think you may be trying to please your end-users a bit too much. Perhaps I have misunderstood you, so I shall end here and wait for your response.
    *Until 11g, that is. There are also workarounds...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Can Numbers Display Multiple Views of the Same Table

    Hi,
    Excel and Appleworks both have a pull down tab on the vertical bar allowing multiple views into the same spreadsheet (table). Can Numbers do this?
    I have a set of calculations at the top of a spreadsheet that are based on years and years worth of data under the calculations (same column). I add data for each new event (the rows) and watch the calculations at the top of the data. Easy to do in Excel or Appleworks, but, I can't figure out how to do this in Numbers.
    Example:
    Spot1 Spot2
    Total 15 36
    Avg 5 12
    Jan 09 5 10
    Feb 09 6 20
    Mar 09 4 6
    Apr 09
    So... does Numbers allow the view "split" or multiple views that Excel and Appleworks allow?
    Thanks!
    Tom

    Question asked and responded several times:
    feature unavailable.
    For multiple views of a table there is an easy workaround as we may build a table whose every cells grab their contents from the 'master' one.
    _Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
    Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10
