Combine Sort by 10 Scrollbar and data validation

Hi,

I am following the vba and dashboard course here at chandoo.org. I tried replicating the kpi dashboard with the sorting technique and apply it to mine.

I would like to combine it with a drop down list where you chose a month and the data changes dynamically and the sorting works perfectly. It only works for two months after I painstakingly found a formula to make it work.

I'm sure there are better ways to do this and less cumbersome. I left a message on the students portal as a comment to the kpi dashboard lessons but as of now I haven't received any answer!

I would really love to get some help here as the dashboard I made is going to be used by the call center I work for and we want to roll it out by next month. I 'd love to get some help on this issue please.


If anyone can help then I'll be glad to share the workbook or send it.
 
If the dashboard uses pivots - or if you decide to try a pivot-based approach - then you can use the code I posted over at http://blog.contextures.com/archives/2013/06/18/update-multiple-pivot-tables-20130618/ to synchronize them.


With this code, you can effectively filter and sort a whole bunch of pivots from a dropdown. (As detailed in the comments at that link, you can create a suitable dropdown by copying one of the pivots and remove any items from the page/column/data fields, and then put any fields you want to filter on in the 'Report Filter' field).


If you are using Excel 2010 or later, the code uses Slicers to change any pivot tables that share the same cache, as this is blazingly fast and requires very little overhead. Any other pivots are then processed without slicers.
 
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply . I have constructed the dashboard in such a way and I'm using excel 2007, that this approach you're proposing will be too time consuming if I combine it with my idea for the dashboard.

Thnx in any case!
