Pivot Table Magic! Create Multiple Pivot Sheets in Seconds

Welcome to our latest blog post, where we’re excited to share a simple yet powerful technique to enhance your Excel skills. Today, we dive into the world of Pivot Tables, specifically focusing on how to automatically create multiple pivot sheets with desired filters. This is a game-changer for anyone dealing with data analysis and reporting!

Understanding the Basics

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s set the stage. Imagine you have a primary pivot table in Excel. It’s structured with ‘Employee Name’ as rows, ‘Sales’ in values, and ‘Supervisor Name’ as a filter. Picture a scenario where you have four supervisors: PK, Raj, Jack, and William. The goal? To create a separate sheet for each supervisor, each containing a pivot table where the ‘Employee Name’ is in rows, ‘Sales’ is in values, and the respective ‘Supervisor Name’ is filtered. Sounds complicated? It’s simpler than you think!

Step-by-Step Guide: Creating Multiple Pivot Sheets

Now, let’s break down the process into easy, actionable steps:

Step 1: Initiate the Pivot Table Analyze Feature

The journey begins with a simple click. Click anywhere on your main pivot table. This action brings up the ‘Pivot Table Analyze’ window in the Excel ribbon.

Step 2: Discover the ‘Options’

Next, navigate to the ‘Options’ drop-down. Here, click on the “Show Report Filter Pages” option. This is your key to automating the creation of multiple sheets.

Step 3: Engage with the ‘Show Report Filter Pages’

Upon clicking “Show Report Filter Pages”, a popup window appears, showcasing a list of filters. This list is your pivot table’s way of asking, “What do you want to focus on?”

Step 4: Select Your Focus – The Supervisor Name

In this pivotal moment, select ‘Supervisor Name’ from the list. This choice tells Excel exactly what to filter in the new sheets.
