    Pulling out Top 10 from a Pivot Table.

    Hi,

    I have pivot table data (attached) and I would like to know, on Excel 2003, how to pull out in to other rows, two things:

    1. How the Sum of the TOP 5 companies in 2012 has evolved over the last few years. i.e. this will bring the sum of the top 5 companies in 2012, and then find the sums of the those same 5 companies for the previous years.


    2. How to find how the sum of the top 5 companies, in each year has evolved between 2007 and 2012. This will almost certainly refer to more than 5 companies in total, because the top 5 companies is likely to change yoy as they gain and lose market share.


    It would be nice to do this intelligently instead of having to go through and sort the data for each year.

    A tough one! Thanks so much!!!!!!

    Re: Pulling out Top 10 from a Pivot Table.

    I made this in excel 2007.

    top 5 (based on the sum of 2007).

    Filter => Top 10 (and you can then change that in 5).

    I don't know if this also is available in excel 2003.

    See the attached file.

    Re: Pulling out Top 10 from a Pivot Table.

    If I follow your request correctly, the enclosed should do the trick.

    Seeing that your profile indicated Office 2010, I updated the file to the new format.

    Due to the error values in your data caused by the source data being absent, the values for the other years cannot be calculated the same way. The results on this workbook show only the companies that don't have errors in their values.
