    Creating Pivot from a report

    Hey guys

    I am having a roadblock in creating a pivot to analyse the data.

    I have a report in the "Details" tab and calculations are done within the tab.
    For example, I have a total cost for a line item by month (from column U to column CZ) and the cost is then allocated to different departments based on the allocation percentage from column O to column C. Each department cost are spread across from column DB to column TI.

    I want to create a pivot table to analyse the cost in the following way:
    By Account, by Vendor, by Department and by Department.

    The reason why I want to create a pivot table is that whenever I want to change the way for analysis purpose, I could easily choose do it. And what I know is that only pivot table could do it.

    I tried to write sumproduct forumula in summary tab (it’s now blank) and the result is painful because of the following reasons:
    (1) Due to large set of data, the excel is so slow when I add new line item in the "Details" tab.
    (2) Whenever I add a new line item in the "Details" tab, I need to update in the Summary tab.
    (3) When I want to change the way I want to analayse the data, it’s very inflexible to do so.

    Can anyone help me on how to create a pivot table from the report?

    As report is exceeding the size limit, it's uploaded here.

    Thanks all in advance

    I tried to delete most of the data in the file to reduce the file size. It's attached here.
