Hi
I am trying to work out the best way to set up a Pivot Chart using the following headings.... There are 800 students (rows)
ID, Year of Entry, Class, Level, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
Each Row is a unique Student, and the other data is as follows;
Year of Entry = 1998 - 2001
Class = Math, English, German etc...
Level = Honours, Advanced, Introduction
And for each of the "Year" columns (2001,2002 etc...), their could be grades such as Good, Exceeded, Outstanding, Average, No Rating.
So I think what I want to do is either have the User choose which "Year" of Grading to look at, or count how many "Good", "Exceeded" etc... for each of the "Years".
Thanks
Ronan

I made it a Pivot Chart, and moved some of the headings around. But I think What I need is the Pivot Chart showing the count of Goods, Excellent etc...Overall,
but also somehow, set it up so that the Uesr could choose which year of data they wished to see.. If that makes sence.
Thanks
Ronan

I think you will need to re-arrange your source data. Instead of 1 record per student you will need 7 records, 1 for each grade year.
See attached with alternative data layout on sheet1 and pivot table on sheet5
Yes, I see that. But I think what I need instead of simply the "Count" of the entries in each of the "Year" columns, 2001,2002,2003 etc, is to be counting how many Goods, Excellent, Exceeded etc.. for each "Year" column...
I have added a screen shot of how "I think" it would be...
Thanks

Thanks Andy. I will have a play with that...
I might get way with the following (See Screenshot) Shame I need to repeat the Rows though as it's linked to an Access database... But I can set up a new "linked" sheet to that...

You chart shows %Graduates which is actually the count, so I assume this is just a typo.
Add the following fields to the Page Field section of the PT,
Year of Entry
Class
Level
GradeYear
To the Row field,
Grade
Display count of Grade. Setting the field option to show % of Column is you want percentages rather than Counts.
Data layout is important when dealing with Pivot tables.
I assume you are having the same problems in Access when it comes to getting the report layout you want from the data structure you have.
Thanks Andy. Well, with Access, I'm really using Excel files dumped from Oracle, and then using those as tables within Access, relating them on the ID, as I have no control over Oracle.
I will have a re-think on how I can pull it diferently from Access.
Many thanks
Ronan
Actually Andy
Using your sample with the formulas, I have pulled it together.
Thanks so much for the advice.
Appreciate it
Ronan
