    Re: Linking filters from pivot table

    If i understand your requirement correctly, if you select March in the first pivot, you want April to be automatically selected in the 2nd one?

    What if someone selects April in the 2nd pivot, should the first one change to March?

    Thanks for your time. Maybe the years and months and products dont need to be in a pivot?? the lookup1 tab has all that in it?? the build plan tab just needs to look roughly the same with the 8 total products ( others may need adding later)....

    How will u filter the data if you are not going to include the years and months & products in the pivot?
