In the PivotTable Options window under the Layout & Format tab uncheck the Autofit column widths on update box.Have you heard that Power Pivot just got a new Synonyms feature? Synonyms associate column (attribute) names in a data model with alternate terms so that the Q&A Natural Language Query functionality in Power BI will be able to return results when users search for data using various terminology. This will allow you to make changes to your pivot table without the column width automatically adjusting. Add A Calculated FieldĪdding a calculated field to your pivot table is equivalent to adding a new column to your source data to perform a calculation based on the other data. For example, our data contains a Total Cost and Total amount for each order. If we want to calculate the Profit Margin on each order we could add another column with the calculation Profit Margin = 1 – (Total Cost / Total) or we can add calculated field.įor a rate type calculations like a profit margin, it’s better to add the calculations as a Calculated Field rather than add an extra column with the calculation to the source data. Adding a rate calculation to the source data may result in incorrect calculations in your pivot table when viewing a pivot table at a more aggregated view than the data. You can create relationships between different data tables using pivot tables and the Data Model. When creating a pivot table check the Add this to the Data Model box in the Create PivotTable window.įor example if our sales data only contained a customer ID and the customers name was stored in another table, this would allow us to relate the customer ID to the name and build sales data pivot tables based on the customer name. Read this post for more detail on building relationships in pivot tables. Pivot tables are amazing, but even with a pivot table it’s sometimes hard to see the trend or anomaly in the data.
