PC Pivot Tables in MAC won't work

[baz]

Please reply to group. Email is bogus to prevent spam.


I use a PC and my boss sometimes uses a MAC. I create reports in Excel
2003 with Pivot Tables. When he opens them on his PC, no problem. But
when he uses his MAC he can't manipulate (select what he wants to see)
the check-off's.

Is there a way he needs to import them for it to convert or what?

Thanks in advance for your help. I am not versed in MAC's.

Hello baz-

I'm not 100% on this, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe that PC XL (especially the later versions, '02, '03) employs
Active-X controls for that functionality which are not supported on the Mac
platform. If I'm right, there probably isn't much that can be done to work
around the shortcoming

I am a Mac user and every boddy else in my office use Pc. I had the
same trouble, but I found a way to do it.

You must double click the names of the colomums you want to filter,
then you will fin a pup up menu and there is a field name hide
elements, you only can select the elements you wish to hide not the
element you wish to see, it make a difference but allow you to query
your pivot table.

I hope this can help
