    My “Pivot Table” (model attached) has many columns of data. I had to blank out some fields due to sensitive nature of data. Either way, I think you can see my gist. I am looking to sort in descending order based on the Grand Total column. How to do this?

    Many Thanks!

      You need to sort the plant field using the values data. Right-click the plant field, Sort – More sort options)

      I tried. I don’t think this will work or can you add more detailed info on how to execute this?

      As I said – right-click the Plant field, choose Sort, then ‘more sort options’ and choose to sort using the value field.

      My “Pivot Table” … sort in descending order based on the Grand Total column. How to do this?

      Click in the GT column.
      Click Home tab, Editing section [far right], click the Sort Arrow, Click on the Z-A choice.

      Are you sure that’s a pivot table, doesn’t look like my usuals. However, above works for a normal table too.

      Lugh.
