If you have a copy of my Pivot Power Premium add-in, it has a command to change the headings for all the value fields in a pivot table, or just the selected fields.
In the Find What box, type “Sum of” (do not add a space at the end).Press Ctrl + H to open the Find and Replace Window.Select all the captions that you want to change.Or, if you would prefer to use a macro to change the headings, there are sample macros on my website. If you have several headings to change, you can select all the headings, then use the Find and Replace window, to change all of them at once. In the screen shot below, I have highlighted the space character at the start of the Quantity name. The new heading will look like the original field name, but the space character will make it different, so Excel will allow the name. ‘Quantity ‘ or at the beginning - ‘ Quantity’. You can also change the font size or the font itself if you don’t like the default one. How to Change The Font Size of Axis Titles. To avoid an error message, you can type the original field name, and add a space character at the end, e.g. Remove the Horizontal Axis, the Chart Title and the Gridlines by unchecking these options in the Chart Elements menu. To format an axis title, click on it with the right mouse button, and use the quick formatting options panel to change for example, the background colour. For example, if the original field name is Quantity, you’ll see an error message if you try to change the heading from ‘Sum of Quantity’ to ‘Quantity’. When you change the field name in a pivot table, the new name can’t be the same as the original field name. Watch this short video, to see the steps, and there are written instructions below the video.
Instead of leaving those long default names in your pivot table, you can change the field headings. These long field names can make the columns wider than necessary, but if you try to change those names, Excel might show an error message - “PivotTable field name already exists.” For example, Quantity becomes “Sum of Quantity”, or “Count of Quantity”. I had never worried about this before and didn’t know how off the top of my head so I did a couple of quick Google searches & couldn’t find any references on how to hide the filters! I was very surprised that I couldn’t find anyone else asking the question so I thought I would share how to easily do this.When you add fields to the Values area, they are set as either Sum or Count, and the field is automatically renamed. I was asked by my client if I could remove the filters from the pivot charts so that they would have a cleaner look for presenting. I recently built a simple dashboard using pivot tables with corresponding pivot charts.
