Hello, I am currently taking an online Excel course which is now going over Advanced Pivot Table functions. I am aware that I am unable to access many of these functions as I currently only have Excel 2011 on my Mac (so no access to Timeline or Slicers).
One feature that I am unsure works or not, though, is multiple pivot tables on one sheet. I am trying to create a Pivot Table and place it in an existing worksheet (so that I may see multiple pivot tables using the same data range on one sheet), and I cannot seem to get it to work. I select my data, choose the Pivot Table option, and then under 'Existing Worksheet' I select the sheet and then a cell that does not overlap with an existing Pivot Table.
However, when I click OK, I get taken back to my data table, and no Pivot Table is created. I have noticed online that other Mac Excel 2011 users have this problem, too, but I just want to know if this is because of Mac Excel 2011 itself, or if my computer might be having problems. I can also confirm that the 'Move' option to move a Pivot Table into an existing Worksheet also does not work, which makes me think this is something I should be able to do, but perhaps my computer is having problems? Thank you in advance for any clarification you may have.
Hi CLNguyenExcel, I did a simple test: Enter some data in book1-sheet1, select all the dataclick the Data tabPivot TableManually create a pivot tableExisting sheetsclick the button next to Locationselect a rang in book1-sheet2it creates the first pivot table. And then, I return to book1-sheet1 repeat steps mentioned above, select another range in book1-sheet2, it creates the second pivot table. And then, I click one cell in the second pivot tableclick Pivot Table tabMove click the button next to locationselect a range in book1-sheet3it moves the second pivot table to sheet3. If these are same steps which you use, the two functions should work. If not, please record a video about how you operate these two functions. We want to check if we can reproduce the behavior from our side.

I followed your steps exactly, and I managed to create two Pivot Tables on one sheet, and even move one Pivot Table to another sheet. However, I can confirm that when I tried again on a workbook that already had pre-existing data, I was still unable to create a Pivot Table on an Existing Worksheet. I tried this with two workbooks with no luck. I can create a Pivot Table onto a new sheet, but if I try more than one then I am sent back to the original page of data. Do you mean that the steps you listed out are the only way to get this to work?
If so, I can confirm that it does work just fine, but I'm curious if there is no way to do the same with worksheets I have already been using for some time, or are pre-packaged with the online course I am taking. Thank you so much. Best, CLNguyenExcel. Hi CLNguyenExcel, Based on my test, I can create a Pivot Table on a existing worksheet with the steps below: 1. Create Pivot Tables in a workbook with the steps as Tim mentioned. Then save the workbook. Reopen the workbook, enter new data in book1-sheet1.
Create new Pivot Tables in book1-sheet2. (The previous data and Pivot Tables are existing in this workbook) Please test on your side and let us know the result. If the issue persists, please record a video to describe the symptom. Please send it to us via the way as Tim mentioned. Also provide the detailed version of Excel. (ExcelAbout Excel) This will help us to troubleshoot the issue. Regards, Tina.
Hi CLNguyenExcel, Thanks for the PM. From the video, you have tried the worksheets given by others. I want to confirm whether existed worksheets have problems as you can insert a pivot table in a new worksheet.
If a new worksheet works fine, then it means the Pivot Table function works in Excel. And the steps to create a pivot table doesn’t affect the function. Let’s create a new workbook and enter some data in it, then create a pivot table and chart on Sheet 2. Save the workbook to local. Reopen the workbook and try the same steps to create a pivot table in Sheet 2, does it work?
If it works, I want to collect the worksheet to test on our end. To protect your privacy, I have sent you the message via. If it doesn’t work, I suggest you update to the latest version of Excel. Regards, Kimi.
