Question description:
This user has given permission to use the problem statement for this
blog.
I would like to pull data from one exel worksheet to another. Basically, I have a series of headings in column B and would like to pull the contents of a row in a different worksheet under one of the headers in column B depending on the contents of a specific cell in the row.
For example, if the contents of the cell D5 = â??yellowâ?? then the whole of row 5 appears under the heading Yellow on the other worksheet. If the contents of D6 = â??blueâ?? then the contents of the row 6 appears under the heading blue on the other worksheet. Objective is to have all of the yellows and all of the blues under the correct heading on the other spreadsheet.

That's pretty much what I am looking for. Is it possible for the pivot table to automatically update if the data is changed in the spreadsheet?
Excelchat Expert
24/04/2018 - 07:23
yes, you will just need to refresh the pivot table and it will automatically update
Excelchat Expert
24/04/2018 - 07:23
You will just need to make sure you are taking the complete range of your data in your pivot range
Excelchat Expert
24/04/2018 - 07:24
If you click on Pivot, pivot table editor shows up

and pivot source range reads as Sheet1!A1:E21
Excelchat Expert
24/04/2018 - 07:24
so we are taking data from A1 to E21 from Sheet1 for now
Excelchat Expert
24/04/2018 - 07:24
you will need to change this range if your data explands
Excelchat Expert
24/04/2018 - 07:25
and that's it you just refresh your pivot and it updates automatically with new data
