    Creating a Dashboard using pivot charts

    Hi Guys

    i have started to create a Dashboard for my works scorecard. i have set it up with the use of pivot tables/charts and the use of slicers to control the charts. I have this problem that when ever i update the scorecard (tab April) not all the charts update. i want this to be perfect before i put in to use at work but cant seem to find my answer. can anyone help


    Please

    Re: Creating a Dashboard using pivot charts

    are you refreshing the pivot table after you updated the data?

    ok the way you have the filter set up
    is to skip blanks
    however if a new number not listed previously is entered
    it will not get added to the filter but rather it will be left out
    as such not "reapply/refreshing?" your graph

    if you update the pivot tables to show Errors as 0 and show empty as 0
    do you still need the filter blank in place?

    im not sure how you use your sheet so i dont know if this can work
    see attached file i have updated all your tables to show this

    oh...this is a big problem that many people have complained about

    from what i can gather you can create "like slicers" with VBA
    question is how good is your VBA?
