Editing DataPilot Tables

Click one of the buttons in the table that the DataPilot has created and hold the mouse button down. A special symbol will appear next to the mouse pointer.

By dragging the button to a different position in the same row you can alter the order of the columns. If you drag a button to the left edge of the table into the row headings area, you can change a column into a row.

In the DataPilot dialog, you can drag a button to the Page Fields area to create a button and a listbox on top of the generated DataPilot table. The listbox can be used to filter the DataPilot table by the contents of the selected item. You can use drag-and-drop within the generated DataPilot table to use another page field as a filter.

To remove a button from the table, just drag it out of the DataPilot table. Release the mouse button when the mouse pointer positioned within the sheet has become a 'not allowed' icon. The button is deleted.

To edit the DataPilot table, click a cell inside the DataPilot table and open the context menu. In the context menu you find the command Start, which displays the DataPilot dialog for the current DataPilot table.

In the pivot table, you can use drag-and-drop or cut/paste commands to rearrange the order of data fields.

You can assign custom display names to fields, field members, subtotals (with some restrictions), and grand totals inside pivot tables. A custom display name is assigned to an item by overwriting the original name with another name.
