    Using Pivot tables and extracting proper columns when double clicking

    In the Image I uploaded I am trying to figure out 2 things. 1. Is it possible, without code, to double click on cell selected and not get those extra columns to show up because they are not needed? 2. Or must I use code and would the code be easy to accomplish this feat? I try to look this up but I honestly don't know how to properly search for it. I tried like 10 times but kept getting drill down information that turns the double click feature off however, I want to be able to double click and have the sheet come up that is on the right of the image. I am using office 365 So let me explain what I am asking real quick. I created a pivot table, if you double click on the number that is selected or 15 in the rifle qualification section I want it to bring up all the necessary information like peoples positions, ranks and names. However, I only want to bring up the Rifle date and the fact if they need or don't need to qualify. On the image to the right you can see I circled the columns I don't need like swim qual. I also would like to do the same thing but with swim qual date and level and don't need/ need columns but not see rifle qualifications. The two pivot table come from the same table. The Spreadsheet is attached as well.

    Just post the word "bump". If the program says your answer is too short add some smilies or whatever is convenient.

    Okay thanks. Do you have any idea of what I am asking help for or do you think I need to rephrase what I am talking about.

    Let's wait for our XL champions to sink their teeth into it. They will ask for extra info if needed.

    Re: Using Pivot tables and extracting proper columns when double clicking

    You question is not fully clear to me, but to get you started.

    See if this pivot table is what you want.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Re: Using Pivot tables and extracting proper columns when double clicking

    Oeldere, no that's not it. What I am trying to do is double click on the 15 how I had the pivot table. So when I do that the pivot table will open up a new sheet and it shows all the data from the main table. I want that sheet to open up and show everything with the Rifle columns and basic information such as the names. When I do it to the pivot table that shows swim qual when i click on either the number beside needs or don't need I want it to only show the peoples names ranks etc.. but not the rifle qual date column and rifle needs columns

    Re: Using Pivot tables and extracting proper columns when double clicking

    By clicking on a value in the pivot table it always shows all the information.

    If you want just a small part of the information, you need to make the pivot table, from a data set without the unneeded information.


    Why do you want this in an apart worksheet, since the data is in the original dataset?

    I made a video on youtube and I want to make it to make more sense. I swore I saw somewhere someone do what I am asking but I can't find it for the love of me

    Maybe if you re-arange format of the data.

    See the attached file.

    Re: Using Pivot tables and extracting proper columns when double clicking

    That could have worked for certain criteria never thought of that but no it is not what I am looking for it. Exactly what you said couldn't happen is what I am looking for to do. Your suggestions are great though.
