    Question Automatically Sort a Pivot Table After Filter

    Hi Everyone,

    I think this maybe something simple that I am just missing so I appreciate your patience.

    I have a chart linked to pivot table that is then filtered via a slicer.

    When I filter, the chart updates but is no longer from largest to smallest. I can go back and resort the pivot table to correct but is there anyway to make this happen automatically when I filter, or can I sort the table to appear from largest to smallest?

    I have attached the file so you can see what I mean.

    Thanks,
    Charles

    The 2 charts on your dashboard aren't linked to pivots (not that I can see anyway), they are linked to data outside of the pivots.

    Re: Automatically Sort a Pivot Table After Filter

    Yes that's correct, apologies I should have been more clear in my description.

    However the challenge remains the same, although the chart is reading from the additional data, if I could auto sort the pivot table to always be from largest to smallest then the additional data would do the same and the chart would display the largest to smallest.

    Is there a way to sort the pivot table automatically after the filter has been applied, at the moment I have to select the pivot table and then sort, I don't want users having to do this.

    If its not possible, would you have any suggestion of an alternative way?

    Much appreciated, Cheers,
    Charles
