You're welcome Pete glad to have helped.
I'm afraid the best I could do with your current question is a bit of a
work around by manipulating the data once it is in Excel, but I hope it
helps with you scenario. Go ahead and create the pivot table as you
describe, adding the Resource Names and Text1 field to the cube. What I
see when I do that is just as you describe:
Column A in the Excel spreadsheet shows Type - Material & Work
subtotaled by type.
Column B shows the names of the resources in detail
Column C shows the data from the Text1 field
Column D shows the subtotal by type and the detail for each resource.
Unfortunately (and I'm not an Excel expert) working with the data in the
pivot table is a bit of a challenge, so I take the pivot table data and
copy it out to another area of the worksheet and manipulate the data
there. Step by step follows:
1. Insert a new worksheet in the workbook.
1.Go back to the Resource Usage sheet and select the pivot table by
clicking the cell A3.
2.Copy.
3.Click on the inserted worksheet tab, select Cell A1, right click to
show the shortcut menu.
4.Select Paste Special... in the shortcut menu to display the Paste
Special dialog box.
5.Select Values and click OK to paste just the data from the pivot
table.
Now column A in the new worksheet shows Type - Material & Work
subtotaled by type
Column B shows the names of the resources in detail
Column C shows the data from the Text1 field
Column D shows the subtotal by type and the detail for each resource.
6. Delete Column B in the new worksheet which contains the resource
names.(You could also just hide it)
You can now insert and delete rows to separate the external and
internals and then total each in Excel.
You can use the grouping in Excel to group the internal/external or just
hide the rows you don't want to see.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
