To illustrate the problem, consider the following data: 1,2,3,5,3,2
. Enter this in a spreadsheet column and make a pivot table displaying the counts. Making use of the information in this pivot table, I want to create a new table, with counts for every value between 1 and 5.
1,1
2,2
3,2
4,0
5,1
What is a good way to do this? My first thought was to use VLOOKUP
, trapping any lookup error. But GETPIVOTDATA
is apparently preferred for pivot tables. In any case, I failed with both approaches.
To be a bit more specific, assume my pivot table of counts is "PivotTable1" and that I have already created a one column table holding all the needed lookup keys (i.e., the numbers from 1 to 5). What formula should I put in the second column of this new table?
