Hi

How should we make the pivot chart on EXCEL, which contains the
(char)data from two different work sheets?
The data from the table are on two work sheets.
Is there a way to select the cells from two different excel work
sheets and then make a single Chart?

Hi
AFAIK you'll need a contiguous area for pivot tables/charts
 
Hi
you only can have one range for a pivot table. So As far as i know
(AFAIK) no chance to use two separate sheets as datasource for ONE
pivot table. combine the sheets prior to using pivot tables
 
Dear Frank,

Thanks

Could you please suggest that how to combine two sheets in order to
display the data from these two sheets on pivot Graph?


Thanks

Regards

Bill
 
Hi
you may explain what kind of data you have on both sheets
- is the number of rows changing
- do they have the same strucutre

e.g. a macro copying both sheets into one could help
 
Thanks Frank,

On both the sheets, the nature of data is character.
The data comes from the table and displayed on both the sheets.

With regards to sheet 1, the data is constant (same value will be dispalyed).
There is only single value in a cell in sheet 1.

On the other sides, there are several rows which comes from the table,
on sheet 2, which uses the rows of Cell A and Cell B.

With regards to sheet 2, the number of rows may change.

Any ideas from your side will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Bill
 
You could create a Pivot Table from multiple consolidation ranges:

1. Choose Data>PivotTable and PivotChart Report
2. Select Multiple consolidation ranges, click Next
3. Select one of the page options, click Next
4. Select each range, and click Add, click Next
5. Select a location for the PivotTable, click Finish

and create a PivotChart from the PivotTable.

However, you won't get the same pivot table layout that you'd get from a
single range.

For example, if customer is the first column in your data source, the
row heading should show the customer names. If remaining columns are
Units Sold, Product#, Unit Price and Total, the column area will show
each of those headings. You can change the function that's being used by
the data value, but it will use the same function on all these columns.

The Pivot Table would contain some meaningless data, such as sum of
Product# or columns full of zeros if the database columns contain text.
To avoid this, you can rearrange your database columns, and then use
data ranges that only include the columns that you want to total.

If possible, move your data to a single worksheet, and you'll have much
more flexibility in creating the pivot table.
 
Hi Bill
still not sure about your layout. If you like email me your spreadsheet
and I'll take a look at it:
