    Question Pivot table to display column header detail where there is a count/result

    Hi there,

    I'm trying to get a pivot table to display the column header details in my data where there is a result. My pivot table is working from order numbers assigned to a list of product codes. Within this data there are duplicate order numbers with different component codes that make up the overall product code. I have arranged my pivot table to display the product codes down the left (Y axis) with the component codes running across the X axis. The component codes vary across the product codes. I would like my pivot table to display the header component code (relative to that column) where there is a returned result/count from this data. The reason I'm after this is because I don't currently have access to Microsoft Access to perform this as I normally would in so I'm having to do a double vlookup to reference the correct column number component code in a separate sheet. I have this working for a significantly smaller amount of data however I'd like to be able to do this without all the copying & pasting I had to do to get it to work.

    Any advice would be appreciated, I'm sure it must be possible but I'm just not sure how I go about doing it, surely it should be relatively simple and obviously easy when you know how!!?

    Hi,

    These things are always easier if we can see the request in the context of the workbook. Would you upload the workbook and in a note explain what you expect to see. Better still create a manual table alongside the PT that shows the layout and values of what the PT should show.

    Of course Richard you're quite right, I've attached the file and it's a much simplified. In my pivot table I'd like wherever a count appears to display the header of the column, i.e. the component code. Any ideas on how to do this would be much appreciated.
