Re: Help - Pivot Tables Export to Excel - Challenge - Each month exported to separate worksheet

 

Hi Beatrice,
I think you might have selected too much data for download. If you are
downloading data for the Kenya orgunit you should not select facility as
the analysis level, it will be way too much to download. Try to use
district or county level instead. Or if you need facility level, first
select e.g. a district as your orgunit to narrow down the amount of data.
Also try just a few months as Jason suggests. If it doesn't work out there
is a great team of pivot and mydatamart experts at the HMIS division if you
are still in Nairobi.
