    Dropdown for Preset Filters in Pivot

    I have a pivot table where i would like to filter the values according to top 10, bottom 10 etc. I know that it works with using the filters in the pivot tables (Value Filters - Top 10 ...), but for making it easier and faster to use these filters, I would like to have some preset filter options as buttons or a drop down menu that immediately display them. so that you don't need to choose the filter values yourself. I need to be able to either filter the e.g. Top2 Business Areas or within one Business Area filter the top 3 Business Groups. I thought about maybe making a drop down menu where you can choose the business areas and then another drop down where you can choose the Filter such as Top10, Bottom 10, Top 3 etc. Does someone have a clue of how to do this?

    thx

    Record macros doing it through the filters, this will then give you the code to attach to a button.
    Hope this helps

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Please dont ask me to do your work for you, I learnt from Reading books, Recording, F1 and Google and like having all of this knowledge in my head for the next time i wish to do it, or wish to tweak it.
