Pivot Table question

[Stevek]

Is there a way to automatically hide data with results = 0 on a pivot table? I have a long list of output, but the majority of data points are = 0. I only want to show output with positivr results, thereby limiting the size of the table.

Try the extract below, taken from Debra Dalgleish's response

You could use a macro to hide the rows. For example:

'=============================
Sub HidePivotZeroRows()
'hide worksheet rows that contain all zeros
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In ActiveSheet _
.PivotTables(1).DataBodyRange.Rows
If Application.Sum(rng) = 0 Then
rng.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
'unhide any previously hidden rows
rng.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
Next rng
End Sub
'=================================

Or for Excel 2002 or later:
'==========================
Sub HideZeroRowTotals()
'hide rows that contain zero totals
'by Debra Dalgleish
Dim r As Integer
Dim rTop As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim df As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
Dim pd As Range
Dim str As String
Set pt = Sheets("Pivot").PivotTables(1)
Set df = pt.PivotFields("Units") 'data field
Set pf = pt.PivotFields("Rep") 'column field
rTop = 4 'number of rows before data starts
For Each pi In pf.PivotItems
On Error Resume Next
pi.Visible = True
Next pi
i = pf.PivotItems.Count + rTop
For r = i To rTop - 1 Step -1
On Error Resume Next
str = Cells(r, 1).Value
Set pd = pt.GetPivotData(df.Value, pf.Value, str)
If pd.Value = 0 Then
pf.PivotItems(str).Visible = False
End If
Next r

End Sub

another possible approach..
Assuming the data is in the spreadsheet, in the column next to the value column just use a formula like =if(<cell>=0,"hide","display"). Include the column in the pivot data range and then just put this column label in the PAGE area and select only "display".

regards..
