 Hi All Smile

I have a power pivot table that is keeping track of voucher unredeemed balances. The way I have achieved this is from 3 tables ie:

table 1 = original voucher value

table 2 = redeemed value

table 3 = cancelled value

The above tables all have a barcode field that is unique in table 1 but can appear multiple times in the remaining tables. I have created a measure in each table for the total value columns in each table. I have then created another measure that gets the remaining vchr balance liability from table 1 vchr value less table 2 redeemed value/s and then less table 3 cancelled value/s. This remaining balance column in the pivot table naturally has many nil balance vouchers once they have been fully redeemed and/or cancelled. I would like to then sort the row that shows the voucher number by the remaining balance column for all vouchers valued above zero. I know how to sort using another column's criteria but I can't figure out if it's possible to filter out the nil value entries?

I hope I have explained this clearly enough for someone to be able to help me?

Thanks everyone Smile

Hi Gayle,

It's a bit tricky without seeing what you mean, but if you select a cell in the PivotTable column that contains the nil values, then click on the Filter for the Column Labels, you should be able to file out any zero amounts using Value Filters. See screenshot attached.

Thank you Mynda 🙂 My view wasn't quite the same as your example but it sent me on the right path and I have solved it now 🙂

Just in case anyone one reading this in the future has a similar problem I have attached an image of that final values filter window that mine showed and it worked a treat!

Now I have a problem with showing the % of one column in relation to another but I haven't given up on that one yet! However you may find me asking for help again very soonWink

Hi Gayle,

Glad you figured it out. If you get stuck with your next challenge just start a new thread and we'll take a look.
