    Question Sorting Pivot table

    Hey guys,

    I have a question regarding my pivot table in my example sheet (see attachments).

    I have this Pivot table in the tab "Master Gantt". It refers to my overview tab, which gets the data from the tab "project ABC". My problem is, that my table from "Project ABC" is dynamic. Means if someone adds a work package (I did this in yellow WP 2.1a), and if I click on the update button on my overview tab, than click on refresh all data for my pivot table, the sorting isn't correct anymore.
    Is it possible to sort the pivot table like in the table form Project ABC? Means it should be sorted by the WBS No. It's important to mention that I can't add some fields like WP to my Pivot table, because I need this view for other graphs.

    Can someone help me?

    Re: Sorting Pivot table

    Hey,

    As I said I can't change the tables, they should remain the same because I need this structure for other graphs.
    Other ideas?

    but not a PivotTables. Be more detailed in future

    you can try with PowerQuery and join two columns without changing structure of PivotTable
    (I've no more ideas)

    Re: Sorting Pivot table

    Okay thanks. I noticed that with this method I am going to have numbers in my pivot table. Is it possible to avoid this?
