    Pivot combining a field

    Hi

    I have a pivot table, I have added the description field in and as it can be a combination of one or more alarms it has split the lines. If it is for the same site i needed the description field to contain both. See example below:


    How would you combine two results to show one line .

    Currently:

    Site name Post code Description Total

    Line 1 Paddington BX3 3TU Intruder 14
    Line 2 PA 1


    Should show:

    Site name Post code Description Total
    Line 1 Paddington BX3 3TU Intruder, PA 15


    Hope this makes sense

    Hi,

    The only way a pivot table could combine those into one row would be to locate the description as a column field. That will create one column per descriptions and I suspect would make your pivot table gigantic unless you have a specific limited set of description codes.
