How do I set up filter for page fields in pivot table?

[Mitsycat]

I have a fantastic pivot table that I built that I use to answer questions
from by customers. However, the questions are often varied and I find it
difficult to easily select and de-select data. Is there a way to filter the
page fields in a pivot table. For example, I might need to go from seeing
all the data for one plant to the data for one material at all the plants. I
have over a thousand materials, over a hundred plants. So, going from one
set to data to the other is taking some time because I have to select and
de-select so many individual items. I would really like to add a "All" and a
"None" category.

Thanks in advance for your help!

In Excel 2002 and later versions, there's a Show All checkbox on the
Items dropdown list. For earlier versions, you can use programming, as
in the sample code shown here:

Thanks Debra! I have Excel 2000, so I will check out the programming options
supplied in the address you attached below.

You're welcome! I've also added "Show All Page Field Items" and "Hide
All Page Field Items" to my Pivot table Add-in, that you can download here:
