    Create a report from a Data Model that shows values only

    I have a Data Model with two tables in it. Simply these are;

    Order - which has an Order ID and a Creation Date field
    Order Line - which has a line for each line against the order and has fields for Item Code and Quantity

    A 1:Many relationship exists between Order and Order Line.


    I want to be able to create a table/report that shows each Order (Order ID) and the Item Codes against that order. A Timeline slicer will allow me to restrict the period of time that is viewed.
    (Adding Item Code as a Row is the format I want, but it shows all of the Item Codes against each Order, not just the Item Codes for that Order)

    A Pivot Table does not really work here because the Item Code field is text, so it only shows Count if used as a Value. I want to see the actual Item Code.

    Can someone please guide me to a better solution (bearing in mind that my source tables will have a lot more fields in time).

    Thanks

    Are you still using Excel 2010? If not, please update your profile. This would be a prime candidate for PowerQuery, if you have a newer version of Excel.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    Re: Create a report from a Data Model that shows values only

    Sorry - the workbook is useless!

    We need to see the source data (just a few rows, not thousands!) and a small mock-up showing how you want the processed data to look.

    Thanks - when this is provided, I'll take a look.

    Re: Create a report from a Data Model that shows values only

    I have uploaded a stripped down version with a few orders and a few order lines. The spreadsheet shows where I would like to get to with an ouput.

    Ultimately I would like to be able to use the Timeline Slicer to restrict the orders shown. From there I can develop I think.

    Thank you.

    Re: Create a report from a Data Model that shows values only

    You cannot get from the pivot table to what you want because the data you need isn't in the pivot table.

    This is why I asked for RAW data - forget the pivot table.

    Re: Create a report from a Data Model that shows values only

    I have uploaded two CSV files that represent the source data.
    The original source data holds a lot more fields, some of which I cannot share - hence I have stripped it down to make these CSVs

    I hope this is what you are after.

    Thank you

    No, no, no!!!

    PLEASE put a sample of raw data into one workbook along with the layout you want. Sorry - you are making this unnecessary fiddly for us!

    Re: Create a report from a Data Model that shows values only

    Sorry - I don't mean to be awkward.

    Attached is a workbook. On one worksheet there is a table of Order IDs and Creation Dates. On a second worksheet are the Order Lines with Order IDs providing a relationship back to the order table. The Order Line table includes the Item Code.

    On the 3rd worksheet there is a table that I have made 'by hand' that shows the sort of thing I want to get to. The key here is that despite all of this information being available in the Order Line table I want to be able to filter the table (Timeline Slicer or similar) by the Creation Date in the Order Table.

    Thank you.

    (I would like to be able to use a Data Model to store these tables as I will have other requirements that require Measures and Pivot Tables - one step at a time though).

    Re: Create a report from a Data Model that shows values only

    Really sorry - I am not getting this at all. Thank you for putting everything into one workbook - i was going to suggest a PowerQuery solution, but I see you know PQ so should be able to work it out that way yourself. Therefore, I will assume that a PQ solution will not be suitable for you.

    In the workbook, what do you mean by filtering the list using the smaller source table? I don't believe you are actually showing us what you want, and if you are, it doesn't match your annotations.

    I'll step aside - you need fresh eyes on this.
