Sort and filter inside a pivot
Sort a pivot table by its totals, largest first, and filter it to the items you pick.
In this lesson
- A pivot table makes its own order, A to Z by default. Sorting your data doesn't change it.
- Sort the pivot table by its totals to put the biggest first.
- Filter the pivot table to keep only the items you pick. The Grand Total then adds up only those.
