Hello,

I have an Excel sheet that I am using for a pivot table and chart. In some cases there are duplicate Order No's (9000785592) as shown in the following...

When this occurs, I receive errors for the sum Totals (i.e., Total results as 8204.34 (3 x 2734.78) versus the total for Order No 9000785592 should equal 2734.78.

What is the best way to resolve this issue? can duplicates be removed in the pivot table creation process?

    Hi @Flinn, Randal J ,
    Based on the first picture, the 9000785592 with different values in Activity title column. If you only need unique Order in the table, you can try to filter Activity = 0010.

    If you want to display the result in PivotTable, you can add the Activity field to the Filter area, I created a sample and you can check if this method is helpful:
