technicians name by the amount of (total) revenue he has made divided by the (total) calls hes had. i input around 15 new rows everyday. so if i can get this to work it would save me a ton of time.

Does this answer your question?

16/08/2018 - 07:20
you did it. and if i enter new data in the sheet and hit refresh. the pivot table will also refresh?
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 07:21
You enter the data in the row just below the where previous data
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 07:21
Suppose, the current data ends in row 100
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 07:21
Then you would have to enter the data in row 101
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 07:21
This will help excel to understand if they are part of the same table
User
16/08/2018 - 07:22
