Hi,
I am trying to analyze NBA stats. My raw data consists of 1-2 weeks of information. During that time teams may have played 5-9 games. What I want to do is only look at the last 5 games. I have dates for each of the games, but with teams playing on different days I can't just filter to show specific dates. What I have done is added a helper column titled "Games Played". So I would filter to show only one of the stats, then filter to show one team and number it from 1 (being most recent) to however many games they have played during this time span.
Then I add that as a row label in the pivot table and filter by label to show anything 5 or less. The problem is it's a PITA having to do this for every team. Plus, when I have to incorporate new data (everyday) I have to go back through and renumber all the past ones, so that what was 1 yesterday now becomes 2...and 2 becomes 3....and so on. I hope that wasn't too confusing. Thanks for any assistance.
Raw data is structured like this:
"Stats Category" "Date" "Team" "Last Game" "Games Played"
