Use Excel pivot table as data source for another Pivot Table

excel, pivot-table

Solution

Make your first pivot table.

Select the first top left cell.

Create a range name using offset:

`OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$3,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-1,COUNTA(Sheet1!$3:$3))`

Make your second pivot with your range name as source of data using F3.

If you change number of rows or columns from your first pivot, your second pivot will be updated after refreshing your second pivot.

Problem

I have a Pivot table in excel that is using a raw table as its data source. This pivot table is doing a bunch of grouping and summing of rows. I'd like to now use the result of this new pivot table as the data source for a new pivot table which will further modify this data. Is this possible with excel? I suppose you could call it 'nested pivot tables'
