    How to combine two filters into one in pivot table

    I have A3 and A4 as report filters in the pivot table.
    Is there any way can combine A3 and A4 into one cell. The new cell is something like drop-down list contains contents from A3 and A4. When picking up the from this drop-down, the corresponding data list will be shown (like the data in B3 and B4).

    Thanks!

    Why not create a helper column in your data which concatenates the two fields you're interested in then use that new field in the PT.

    Re: How to combine two filters into one in pivot table

    The "service_name" has a long list of data and it changes daily. Since I need the dynamically read data from DB, the helper column may not be helpful.
    Initially, I wonder whether the PivotTable has the option to merge two filters together. But it seems not.
    I finally use the macro to make it work.

    Thanks for the reply.
