If I have a PivotTable in Excel 2007 with a date field. I understand that I can group the date by day, month or even year using Group Field (Years & Months).
If I combine with product perspective, the PivotTable may look like this
Sum of Sales_Total | Column Labels
Row Labels | PRODUCT-001 | PRODUCT-002 | Grand Total
- 2006 | 2000 | 1500 | 3500
Jan | 1700 | 800 | 2500
Feb | 300 | 700 | 1000
- 2007 | 1000 | 1500 | 2500
Jan | 700 | 800 | 1500
Feb | 300 | 700 | 1000
- 2008 | 600 | 700 | 1300
Jan | 600 | 700 | 1300
Now, what I want to do is to compare Jan 2008 – Jan 2006 and Jan 2007 – Jan 2006. Something like this :
| Column Labels
| PRODUCT-001 | | ...
Row Labels | Sum of Sales | Sum of Last Sales |
- 2006 | 2000 | |
Jan | 1700 | |
Feb | 300 | |
- 2007 | 1000 | 2000 |
Jan | 700 | 1700 |
Feb | 300 | 300 |
- 2008 | 600 | 1000 |
Jan | 600 | 700 |
Is it possible ? If so, how to do that ?
You might want to use the month higher in the column hierarchy, this way you’ll get
