数据刷新后保留数据透视表报表过滤器

Question

I have a PivotTable (actually it is five PivotTables, each on its own separate sheet) that is created from a query of an outside database. Each of the PivotTables represents a day (ie Today, Tomorrow, Today+2, Today+3, and Today+4). For the report filter for the first two, we use a date range filter of today and tomorrow which automatically filters the data and allows it to roll over. We created custom date ranges for the other three days, but upon every external data refresh we have to go into each sheet and reselect the report filter from all to the specified time frame. This data rolls over every day so we can see the lineup for the next 96 hours out.

Is there a way to either keep the PivotTable report filter criteria (VBA and macros are both acceptable, although we are also fairly new to both)?

Or is there some super secret way to extend the report filter from just today and tomorrow to a time range (48 hours, 96 hours) instead of next month?

I need the days to be separated, so next week will not work because all the days will populate on one page.

Answer 1

Without seeing a real example it's hard to tell, but how about changing the query to a relative date index, ie something like

SELECT DATEDIFF('day', GETDATE(), report_dt) AS days_from_today FROM reporting_table

And then set your report filters on this relative date index ( days_from_today = 1 for tomorrow, etc)? You can always create another Excel column in the report =TODAY() + days_from_today to get your absolute date back. (Assuming you are just dealing with one time zone for reporting purposes.)

Ie, instead of rolling filters, keep the filters on constant indices, and let the indices cover a rolling date range. I'm not sure Excel is smart enough to do the rolling filters thing.
