Cascading drop downs enhance usability of your dashboards & interactive workbooks. A cascading drop-down is a 2 or more level selection mechanism. When you have 100s of selection choices, instead of creating one massive drop down or combo-box, you can set up multiple levels of drop downs, so that users can narrow down their selection. For example, users can select Country, State and then City using cascading drop downs.
There are many ways to setup cascading drop downs. You can use formulas coupled with either data validation or form controls. You can also use Slicers. In this video we will review these techniques.
If you use Excel 365, you can also use XLOOKUP to set up cascading drop down list in Excel. Check out this article for that technique.

4 Responses to “Currency format Pivot fields with one click [Friday VBA]”
As in your example, I often find myselve having to format numbers as kU, MU,%, or increase/decrease decimals. In the PowerPivot utilities add-in, I have included several such formatting macros and made them available from the pivot table contextual menus. Thanks for you post. It reminds me that formatting as currency is *currently* missing.
The add-in is free and the vba code open.

I almost never format my pivot tables. I only format my final chart/table or whatever.
And when I do format them, I go the long distance. Keeps my clicking ability in shape. 🙂
I'm with GraH
I rarely if ever format PT's
Just hover your pointer on field header, it turns into down arrow then click. Entire pivot field gets selected then click on currency($) symbol from home ribbon or Press Ctrl + $(Ctrl + Shift + 4).
