An instructional video on how to create a Pivot Table in Microsoft Excel 2016 on a Mac.
I imagine this must have been asked and answered before, but I couldn't seem to find an answer to this exact scenario, and I'm hoping someone else can point me to one. I'm on Mac using Excel 2011. This means I don't have 'slicers', which is all my Googling kept turning up. I have a pivot table with 4 different value columns, and I want to be able to filter it the same way you would a normal table - i.e. Remove everything below a specific number in one column, and filter for only specific strings in another column, etc.
How can this be done? Seems like a pretty standard need in a complex pivot table so I'm hoping someone has a nice easy solution.

WHAT I MEAN BY FILTER IS THE AUTO FILTERS OPTION. See the screenshot below.
If your value column is wherever just click to the next cell of the header clumn in the picture below senario is dipicted as the yellow cell and then go to auto filter and click it and then you would be able to filter the value column. Excel 2010 A B C D 7 ACCOUNT VALUES column CLICK HERE AND THEN TURN ON AUTO FILTER 12 21015 (0.00) 13 21030 (2094.02) 14 51005 (3080817.00) 15 6.5 50904.5 37329.5 515734.5 146747.5 5290.0 250.5 2214.0 144.5 718.5 30000.0 38205.5 1638120.0 9286.1 4000.5 207.9 745.5 41479.5 8080.0 64748.5 6226.0 291.5 13610.0 17712.5 5813.5 7923.50 PivotSheet. There is unfortunately a limitation with this method. I have 3 pivot tables on a single worksheet, and you can only use this trick with one of them at a time, if the pivot tables don't actually touch each other. I have spacer columns (empty) between each table. Removing the spacer columns and adding them again after enabling the filter on all tables won't work, because then the filtering in one table affects all the others.
Is there no way to enable autofilters on multiple pivot tables that do not touch, on a single worksheet? On further reflection, I need to amend this entire question and explain why the AutoFilter functionality is not acceptable. AutoFilters work by actually hiding rows that fit the filtering criteria. This is not going to work since it ends up hiding data in other columns of the worksheet. This is precisely why I originally was looking for a pivot table-specific solution. I need to be able to filter the values of a pivot table, without impacting anything else on the worksheet - just as one can do with the row labels, but for the value columns. I hope this makes my needs more clear, and that someone can suggest a solution.
One of the most powerful features of pivot tables is their ability to group data, especially numbers and dates. In this video, I'll show you how to group data by age range. Here we have a set of data that represents voting results. There are 300 votes total, and, in each row, we name, gender, age, and vote. I'll go ahead and summarize the data in a pivot table.
Any field added as a row or column label is automatically grouped by the values that appear in that field. For example, we can easily summarize total voting results by vote by simply adding Vote as a row label. Or, I can make Vote a column label and then add Gender as a row label. For both fields, the pivot table breaks down the data using the values that appear in that each field. But what if you want to group by age? Well, if I remove gender and add age as a row label, we do get a breakdown by age, but it's a little hard to understand. What we're looking at is specific results for each age.
Results for 20 year olds, 21 year olds, 25 year olds, and so on. It's cool that the pivot table did this for us so quickly, but it's not very useful, since the automatic grouping by age is too granular.
We don't care that five 20-year-olds voted for Option B – we want to see voting results by age ranges, like 20-29, 30-39, and so on. To group ages into buckets like this, right-click any value in the Age field and choose Group from the menu. When the Grouping dialog box appears, set an interval that makes sense for your data. In this case, I'll group by 10 years.
When you click OK, you'll see your data neatly grouped by age range. To change the grouping, just repeat the process. You can use this same approach to group any kind of numeric data.
