How to suppress subtotals for a field in a pivot table? <br /><br /> Given a generic pivot table with row fields A, B and C and data field D, I want to be able to hide the subtotals in the row fields (equivalent to double-clicking the header and selecting "None").<br> <br> According to Microsoft's <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mac/resources/resources.aspx?pid=asforoffice">reference guide</a>, there is no option for "None." However, I can't even get one of the listed options to work. The example given on page 240 of the reference guide generates an error message. The following command does absolutely nothing:<br> <br> <code>set subtotals pivot field "A" of pivot table 1 of active sheet subtotal index average subtotal</code><br> <br> Google seems to think that nobody has ever wanted to do such a thing. post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.66817 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 08:57:49 -0800 cdavis applescript excel pivottable http://ask.metafilter.com/66817/ApplescriptExcelPivot-Table#1002134 Oh, I'm using Excel 2004 and Applescript 1.10.7 (OS X 10.4.10). comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.66817-1002134 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 09:14:42 -0800 cdavis http://ask.metafilter.com/66817/ApplescriptExcelPivot-Table#1004630 I can't help, but I'm sure someone on <a href="http://www.mrexcel.com">Mr Excel</a> would be able to - just in case you haven't come across this resource already. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.66817-1004630 Sun, 15 Jul 2007 02:43:07 -0800 paduasoy
