Pivot Chart

Kay Schulz

Hi
I use the current version of Microsoft Excel
for Mac OS X 10.4.7.
I am making some Pivot Tables but
missing the menue entry (I know from
Windows-based Excel) for a Pivot Chart
or Graph.
Is it possible with Mac Excel?
Where is it hidden?
Thanks
Kay

Hi Bob
thanks for the reply.
In my german excel I cannot find anything
which associates pivots and charts.
Chart from Pivot Table cannot be found....
Or I translate the stuff badly, but a simple search for pivot
gives me some matches but none has to do with charts

Hi Kay -

I'm afraid my German doesn't go beyond some of the typical tourist phrases
picked up from books & movies :)

Try whatever the equivalent phrase would be for: pivot table chart

In my English version it provides the same list of choices including the one
I mentioned in the previous post, just listed in a different order... It's
basically a matter of using the Chat Wizard to build the chart based on the
pivot table. I copied this from my Help window:

*Create a chart from an existing PivotTable report by using the Chart
Wizard*

When you use this method to create a chart, the chart uses the layout of the
PivotTable report to determine the placement of fields.
1. Hold down CONTROL and click the PivotTable report, point to Select, and
then click Enable Selection so the command is not checked.
2. Remove any subtotals from the PivotTable report.
How3. Click a cell in the PivotTable report.
4. On the Insert menu, click Chart to start the Chart Wizard.
5. Follow the instructions in the Chart Wizard.
Notes
€ A chart created from a PivotTable report changes when you hide items,
show details, or rearrange fields in the source PivotTable report.
€ If your PivotTable report has page fields, the chart changes when you
display different pages. When you display each item in the list for the page
field, Microsoft Excel updates the chart to display the current data.
€ To save and print charts for all page fields in a PivotTable report, on
the PivotTable toolbar click PivotTable, then click Show Pages to display
each page on a separate worksheet. You can then plot each page in an
individual chart.
