Trouble grouping years into decade groups

Hello. I have encountered a problem with a pivot table (PT ) used to create a demo dashboard for snowfall data at a ski resort.
 My data is in an Excel Table beginning with column 'Season' (1970, 1971, 1972, etc.  through 2014). Each column to the right of the ‘Season’ column has snowfall data for each month of that year (Oct, Nov,  Dec,  etc. )
First, I created a PT from my source data to illustrate Annual Snowfall trends from 1970 – 2014. Then I created a pivot chart (line) for later addition to a dashboard.  It is on a tab called ‘AnnualTotals’.  So far so good.
But when I attempt to start with a new tab to create a (2nd) pivot chart, from the same data source, for the purpose of grouping snowfall totals by decade - any Grouping in my new 'SnowfallByDecade' tab changes the first 'AnnualTotals' tab as well –
even though the new (2<sup>nd</sup>) PT is on a different tab.
The original data for 'Seasons' was TEXT, so I changed it to 'General' in hope that would solve the problem.  But I am still unable to create a new tab to group by decade without Excel automatically modifying the first pivot table and pivot (line) chart
(‘AnnualTotal’ tab).
I have made dashboards before with grouping and never saw this phenomenon, so I am confused.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.  Thanks in advance.
I also have an Excel (xlsx) file that can e-mail for further investigation.

Hi,
The reason the change of the pivot table is effecting you charts, because the charts are linked to the pivot table.
Because it is linked it is called a pivot chart.
You can do two things, remove the link and select the parts you want to make the chart from. Every time you have a change, you might need to refresh it.
Or make a new pivot table for you second chart. When your pivot is updated your chart will also automatically update.
You will have a pivot for both chart designs.
With pivot tables (in excel 2010) you also have the option slicers. This kan also make it easy to change the pivot table, that is a nice feature.
Good luck!

  • How to group arts into a group

    I look in AIArtSuite but could not figure out how to group multiple arts into a group.
    Please help.

    Thanks very much, this is how I ended up doing:
    There are 2 arts to be grouped: image (kPlacedArt) and path (kPathArt).
    I created a new art of type kGroupArt and place the other two inside it.
        sAIArt->NewArt(kGroupArt, kPlaceAboveAll, nil, &group);
        sAIArt->ReorderArt(image, kPlaceInsideOnTop, group);
        sAIArt->ReorderArt(path, kPlaceInsideOnTop, group);

    Hi Faisal,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply. With your suggestion, I do figure out where my problem is. I did set the control flag in my ldapAuthenticator "OPTIONAL". However, it appears that the DefaultAuthenticator is given as "REQUIRED" by default.
    Once I changed it to be "OPTIONAL", it works.
    Thanks again.

  • How can I copy a list of email address into a group folder in contacts?

    I have a list of all the email addresses of my tennis club members. How can I copy that into a group address. At the moment I have to find each one and drag it into the folder, but I am sure there must be an easier way. Does anyone know what that is?
    Loftyjs

    I'm glad you figured it out. I was thrown off by literally interpreting the term "list" I guess
    In truth, a "mailing list" of multiple recipients, when applied to a particular email message is nothing more than a "comma de-limited list" of the addresses. Some mail clients add < > on either end of the individual addresses
    [email protected],[email protected],[email protected],etc.
    <[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,etc.
    in the old days, we would just keep a text file an add to the end as needed.
    lists are commonly used as 'Mini-databases' in Adobe(Macromedia) Director, my everyday tool for years. A list of lists, then becomes a bigger database as does a list of a (list of lists), and so on
    Too much information, methinks

  • Making all paths into a group without selection

    I'm working on a script that will take every pathItem in a document and put it into a group (all pathItems in the document are groupless upon opening it, so there won't be other groups already in the document).
    I have a script that creates a group, then puts the highest placed pathItem into the group. I just can't figure out how to have to grab all pathitems in the document, or loop this one action until everything is in a single group. Also the kicker is, as the title suggests this script has to work without selecting anything by hand first (in other words having to click something to select it). Now if there's was a way to select everything with a script that would be awesome.
    Here's what I have so far:
    #target Illustrator
    //based on script from Carlos Canto
    var doc = app.activeDocument
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
    doc = app.activeDocument;
    newGroupItem = doc.activeLayer.groupItems.add();
    var gi = doc.groupItems[0]; // the topmost existing group
    var all = doc.pathItems[0]; // all paths in document
    all.move (gi, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // move selected path inside the group
    all.evenodd = true; // necessary to determine "insideness" or to make holes.
    I also have this that I found here on the forum
    #target Illustrator
    // GroupFromSel.jsx
    // regards pixxxelschubser
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.selection.length > 0) {
        var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
        var Sel = aDoc.selection;
        var GroupFromSel = aDoc.groupItems.add();
        for ( i = Sel.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
            Sel[i].moveToBeginning( GroupFromSel )
    But saddly it requires selecting so two scripts, two possible solutions. I'm just working on both until I can get one to work.
    Any ideas?

    var all = doc.pathItems[0]; // all paths in document
    that's only the top most pathItem, change that to
    var all = doc.pathItems; // all paths in document
    ...and loop thru "all" and move each inside your group
    #target Illustrator
    //based on script from Carlos Canto
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        doc = app.activeDocument;
        var gi = doc.activeLayer.groupItems.add();
        var all = doc.pathItems; // all paths in document
        for (i=0; i<all.length; i++) {
            eachPath = all[i];
            eachPath.move (gi, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // move all pathItems inside the group
    else
        alert('no documents to process');
    for this set up we will run into trouble if you have other groups with pathItems

  • Is there a limit to the number of addresses can I put into a group of multiple users in my address book?

    I have just started using Thunderbird and want to set up a number of list groups in my Address Book so that I can simply click on the list name and the email goes to multiple people.
    Is there a limit to the number of addresses that I can put into each group? Or, can I put as many addresses into each group as I want to? Thanks for your answer.

    Thunderbird has no limit.

  • Plug-in Request Group field into the external authentication plug-in

    Hi all,
    I'd like to know if anyone has already tried to filter who can have the permission to call the external authentication plug-in setting it into Plug-in Request Group field.
    I've made some tests adding some users into groups OracleDASAdminGroup, OracleUserSecurityAdmins and groups that I've created under my DC settings. Unfortunatly, I've had no success.
    Is possible to do this?
    Thank you.

  • I would like to get only specific channels from several .csv files and concatenate into one group.

    Hello,
    I am working with other groups and getting the data in daily .csv files.  When I use the "concatenate groups" script along with a script on importing files, I end up getting a huge file that takes about an hour to concatenate.  In order to reduce the amount of time and memory that this takes, I was hoping that someone could help me modify the script so that I could just list the channel name that I am interested in and concatinating only those channels rather than all of them. 
    For example, if voltage, temperature, pressure and time data are taken daily for 30 days, I would like to import only the temperature and time data (from .csv format) and concatenate into one group.
    I have attached the .vbs files that I use.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alan

    Hi Alan,
    Actually, the feature you're asking for is already in the code of mine that you sent back. Look on line 11 of the main VBScript:    ChannelSet = "" ' "" or "1-" (DataPlugin) or "Sheet1" (EXCEL Wizard) 
    If this "ChannelSet" parameter is set to something other than "" or "1-" then it is used in line 78:
    Call DataFileLoadSel(FilePaths(i), DataPlugin, ChannelSet) 
    Yo can specify the channel indices to load with an expression like this:
    ChannelSet = "[1]/[1],[3]" 
    Let me know if you have further questions,

  • I've found no way to sort.  For example, if I type the group "Rush" into the search bar, I get a list of songs recorded by rush and literally thousands of other songs and artists with the word rush in them. There is; however, no way to sort the results.

    I've found no way to sort search results in itunes.  For example, if I type the group "Rush" into the search bar, I get a list of songs recorded by rush and literally thousands of other songs and artists with the word rush in them. There is; however, no way to sort the results. 

    In the Search box click on the black Arrow and UNTICK the Search Entire Library.
    Then the Search results in Songs view will be displayed in the main Grid and you can sort them by clicking on the column headers.
    You can also turn on the column browser which can help with filtering

  • Import Windows XP Group Policy into Windows 7?

    Is it possible to import a Windows XP Group Policy into Windows 7? It seems ZCM will not let you edit the XP policy from Windows 7 even though you can apply the policy to a Windows 7 Workstation and have the policy applied without issue. I'm still researching it, but the search terms return many Active Directory results.

  • Is it possible to prevent a group of users be added into other groups?

    We have a admin group named "app admin" which has full privileges to a target OU "ou=apps,ou=services,dc=xxx,dc=com".
    And we are looking for solution to prevent members in the admin group putting their own account or group members into the target OU.
    Tried the aci with "deny self write", but it only prevents admin user put their own DN into the target OU.
    And they still can add their group members into the target OU.
    Just wondering is it possible to prevent a group of users be added into the target OU while they still can add/delete/modify normal users into the target OU?
    The version of our Directory Server is 6.3.1.

  • Grouping songs into one album that are featuring someone else

    Trying to clean up my iTunes library.  Some on my albums that I have ripped to my iMac have songs on the same album, but feature one or more other artist.  I'd like to find out the easiest way to get those songs into the same album group that they are from.  I've done one so far and edited the artist to just the original album artist, but I'd like to be able to see who else is on the track if possible.  Sort of knitpicking but that's me, thanks!!!

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).  You can leave the artist there. Album artist will force it to sort by that.
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

  • How can I drag and drop a Tidal job into another group?

    How can I drag and drop a Tidal job into another group? In Tidal Help, it says-
    In the Jobs pane, press and hold the Ctrl key and at the same time right-click and either individually select individual jobs within a job group or drag your mouse cursor over a block of jobs that you wish to select. You can only move multiple jobs between job groups if the jobs being moved are on the same level.
    Keeping the right mouse button depressed, drag the cursor to the job group that you wish to move the jobs to and release the mouse button.
    When moving jobs from one job group to another, you must decide if the moved jobs keep their original job group attributes or assume the calendar and agent characteristics of its new job group.
    A confirmation dialog, offers three inheritance options for the jobs moved to the "new" job group parent. Select one of the following options:
    However, when I attempt to follow those instructions, it doesn't work at all and there is no indication that it's even trying (i.e., I don't see the selected job following my cursor at all and all I get is the normal menu when you right click anywhere on the screen.)
    Is there another way to do this or is there a master setting that needs to be changed so that ability is enabled?
    Thanks.

    Go into edit mode for the job group group and just manually edit the section for Parent job/Group.
    Cheers

  • Is there a way of combining a large number of materials into a grouping cod

    Greetings,
    Is there a way of combining a large number of materials into a grouping code, so that and end-user can manage this grouping... adding and removing materials... for auctions?
    The materials will likely span material groups in R/3, and there could be thousands of materials. Shopping cart templates would be cumbersome.
    I was thinking about a special catalog characteristic with defined names to manage the various groups of materials.
    I appreciate any advice... also in awarding points.
    Jessica

    Hi Jessica
    This is my understanding:
    - You want to 'Specially group' materials other than material group. Each special group, may consists of materials from many material groups.
    - User(s) pick materials from this group during 'Auction' creation or 'shopping cart' creation.
    Am I right ?
    Looks like using 'Catalog' is the option.
    - MDM Catalog 'mask' or other Catalogs views to have user specific catalog view
    - Maintenance of this catalog by user could become a problem. Then, you need to give content mgmt rights to user
    Best regards
