Hello,
Please see the screenshot attached.
I'm having an issue with the Count function in a Pivot Table. When I filter either fields ('Fair and Impartial Treatment' or 'Treating Employees with Respect'), then doing so will affect the other.
Is there a way, by either some sort of calculated Item/Field or something, to run a count of a field in a pivot table without being affected by the filtering of any other fields?
In the screenshot, let's say I filter 'Fair and Impartial Treatment' to see the values "1,2,3 and 4", you can see if I filter out the values that are empty (the value "")...then that will remove the adjacent rows under the column 'Treating Employees with Respect'.
I have been looking at this for several hours now, and I really don't know what to do. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks

If all you're wanting is a count of various field items I'd suggest a fixed table of values which uses either a countif function, or perhaps if permutations of field counts are needed, by using the little used and not very well understood Sumproduct function.
I much prefer these methods than manipulating pivot tables, which in my opinion are less flexible for this sort of thing. That's not to say that pivot tables are not extremely powerful and useful, just that they're not the best for all occasions.
