    Multiple related filters

    Hello

    I hope you can help. Ive been searching for a bit but cannot seem to find my answer.

    I have a excel table with many columns and rows. One of hte columns is LEAD_NAME. Another column is MEMBER_NAME. A lead can have more than one member in his team. (I am trying to figure out timesheets here)

    I can see the pivot with all the data in which is good. However it is unmanagable so I wanted to have a report fiter for each LEAD_NAME. This makes it more managable but is still not ideal. Ideally I want to have a second report filter with just the values that are in MEMBER_NAME and not all values under the MEMBER_NAME column.

    is this possible?

    As an example

    LEAD MEMBER TEAM MEMBER ....
    ADRIAN RICHARD
    ADRIAN SAM
    THOMAS THOMAS
    THOMAS JAMES
    BILLY JOEL

    I have BILLY, THOMAS, ADRIAN as lead member. If I filter just on ADRIAN then I see only the rows with team mbmer containing RICHARD and SAM. What I want is anotehr report filter jsut contains RICHARD and SAM so I can filter even more. If I normally add another filter with TEAM MEMBER then I will show all TEAM MEMBERS - not just those related to the other filter's LEAD.

    Hope this makes sense!

    Is this possible?

    Thanks

    Insert a Slicer to use for that, instead of using the drop down filter. Select a cell in your pivot table, and insert a Slicer set to Team Member. The Slicer will sort and highlight the available members when you filter on Team Leads.
