    Help with pivot table

    Please forgive me I know this must be very basic for most of you but I really have been scratching my head all day on this ie and its not coming out as expected
    I want to create a pivot table which will rank in the following order
    1. Rank of App with Highest to lowest based on usage across the 3rd parties listed in col A
    2. Rank of 3rd party from highest to lowest based on app usage/number of users


    Guess this must be simple but when I do it its not providing clear results. For instance, there are 177 users across the board of 3rd parties using confluence when I calculate this manually. my pivot table is not showing this. so I obviously dont know what values to use to bring this out
    thanks for any suggestions ...and hope I'm clear in my ask?

    The merged cells in your data source are preventing the pivot table from working as you want. The value in each merged cell is only counted once - against whatever is adjacent to the top of the merged cell.

    Aaah now I understand.
    so what would be the best way of me achieving my desired output/report in excel without having to do it manually?
    I only provided a snapshot of what the actual data is and it will take many hours if I to do it manually.

    If you don't have any blank cells in the values column to worry about, you could unmerge the cells, make the data into a table and then load it into power query. You can then use a fill down operation on the column to fill the blank cells in with the initial value for each group. After that you can either load the results in to a worksheet and build a pivot off that, or just load it as a connection, then build the pivot table using the connection.

    Re: Help with pivot table

    Just wondering, but what's the shape of your input data? Could you sketch that out or provide a sanitized sample? (like fewer apps and/or groups, and no real names or anything). Don't want to get anyone in trouble. But you could do counts DAX and then use RANKX() to rank your apps over groups for example.
