hide pivot table column

hello all,

i've searched the discussion forum regarding the issue and the answers were all archived, so i would like to ask what is the process (set analysis...) on hiding the pivot table columns ("Team, Branch, Employee Name") when "Etc" is selected. please find the image below.

i really appreciate if somebody knows how. thank you very much in advance.

regards,

jason

1. You could use a calculated dimension ( if(Category='Etc', Team) ). But I dont think it is a great solution because you get empty columns.

2. You could use a macro and a button.

sub AddDimension
set Graph = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject( "CH04" )
Graph.AddDimension "GES_NR"
end sub

3. You could create several pivot tables and only show one, depending on a condition (->Chart Properties->Layout->Conditional).

All three options arent optimal, so maybe someone can come up with a better solution

I go for the several pivot table option because its easier to implement, but it does give you a maintenance problem in that you have several objects to maintain.

I did try the macro method of dynamically adding/removing columns to pivots and straight tables and I came across so many problems with it that I gave up.
