Load your file to Power Query. In the PQ editor, delete the fields not needed in your calcs. Don't need to see a file with 3.32 megs. Suggest you post in this forum a file with 10-15 records that are representative of your actual file.

Hi, alansidman not sure how to do that.
i try data, get data Launch Power Query after window pop i don't know what to do from there.
in this file i cut down to only about 25 rows total

I need help, to remove columns from workbook sheet Plys 2 stake., not affecting formulas or pivot table results.

There are some columns that are being used in the pivot tables so they cannot be removed: Player, Rank, WINS, Tournaments, Cashes, and Gross Profit
As for the others:
1. Select the Formulas tab
2. Select cell A7 on the Plys 2 Stake sheet
3. Select Trace Dependents
For cell A7 the pop-up message says "The Trace Dependents command found no formulas that refer to the active cell", so column A could be removed without affecting any formulas.
4. Select cell B7 and repeat step 3
For cell B7 there will be a line that points to Bankroll column so you cannot remove column B without affecting other formulas
5. Select Remove Arrows
6. Select cell C7, then D7 etc. and keep repeating step 3 and when needed step 5 above.
Note that I suggest making a copy of your file before you start the process of removing columns in the event that you find out later you have removed some that are needed.

thank you, will do the above steps.
after doing the above steps seems that all columns that i want to remove have trace to other column so i can't delete.
in pivot table can we make 1st pivot table more user friendly maybe with slicer for stakes of buyings.
not sure what is the other 2 pivot talbes for. I would like to be able to look for low stake buyins and see who are the winning players in low stakes and for highroller tournaments. not sure it the adjustment can be made. I know we had a pivot table where it was for stakes of buiying.
I am having trouble with the dates. lets say i want to look up 2:3 days like apr 8, 9, and 10 its very dificult due to the time.
I would want to be able to do it fast and see the results for the last 3 days on a player like that i have idea if he won or not i know either to stake him or wait

Reminder that we don't get notifications when a post is edited, so if you want us to be notified of a new request, make a new post.
To add a slicer to a pivot table, select the PivotTable Analyze tab and then Insert Slicer. Select the fields that you want to use for filtering.
If you don't need the other pivot tables they can be deleted by selecting the whole range of cells occupied by the pivot table and pressing the Delete key.
You may need to add another column to tbl_Tournaments13 that has only dates without times. Since the values in the Start column are text and not actual date and time values, we will have to look at a formula to display dates.

@JeteMc
Your approach is clever

OH NO THE SKELETON IS COMING OUT! AAAAAAHHHHHH

Please explain the problem with the file as I don't get any error messages once downloaded.

when i open file i get this msg
This workbook contains links to one or more external sources that could be unsafe.
If you trust the links, update them to get the latest data. Otherwise, you can keep working with the data you have.
bad day today again info wipe. im sorry need to take a 30 min break.
row 120 on 1st pivot table shows hunter its suposse to be teneggguy will brb i will try to go to a previous file and start entries when i come back.
not sure why the recover save never works

When I downloaded and opened the file I got a Security Risk message, which is usual for files that have macros (VBA).
Looking on the File tab > Info > Security Information there is a message about macros: Data Connections and Workbook links.
I don't know enough about Macros (VBA) to say what those might be doing.
I don't know why TennEggGuy doesn't show up in the pivot table.
I produced a new pivot table pulling Player into the Rows area, WINS (count) and cashes (sum) into the Values area and Rank into the Filter area (selecting only 1) and TennEggGuy is in row 454.

thank you mate,
okay I am almost done with entries. after using the file where it show TennEggGuy player but not sure if as i am doing entries then it changes to hunter not sure let me finish all entries and will do some testing and maybe use older file then copy paste the entries see if thats the issue.hunter.png
mate, i just type TennEggGuy in hunter name hope that issue is fixed. as you can see the list of players in this picture. is it possible to sort from Highest to lowest in wins.
1. Tenneggguy 25
2. mazalsa 21
3. tam arai 19
someting like the above?

If you set up the pivot table as explained in the last sentence of post #11 then you can sort by WINS as follows:
1. Select the sort/filter button in the Player cell (A3)
2. Select "More Sort Options"
3. Select "Descending (Z to A) by:"
4. Select "Count of WINS"

perfecto, thank you fantastic i seems to work. Thank you

As buy-ins isn't a field in the pivot table, a slicer would be the only way I know to filter by buy-in amounts.
Note that there may be VBA options.

thank you. maybe i would like to have that. i will work today in the range of buyings amt. like $1.08 to $4.40 and get the rest.
amts. will let you know once i have all that.
these is the range of buying i would like to have in slicer. as it look in the picture.

Change the Stake column (AI) formula on the Plys 2 Stake to read:

Instead of the slicer using the buy-ins field it should use the stake field.
