About Repivot #back to top

This Software allows you to pick Fill, Font and Line Colours to instantly create minimalist Pivot Table and Slicer Styles that you can then use in your own Workbooks. It has a lot of different settings in which you can change many elements of the Pivot Table and Slicer UI design. You can choose to Copy the Style(s) to a Blank Workbook or to a Closed Workbook. You can also just Copy the Worksheet into your Project, then delete it - the Styles will be added into your Spreadsheet to use with your Pivot Tables and Slicers. The Repivot AddIn is a fully featured AddIn (with Reslicer) that allows you to Create and Save Pivot Table & Slicer Styles for Excel, using PNG's loaded via GDI for the Radiobuttons Group - see the AddIn link at the top of the Page!

Repivot now also includes a Testbed Creator - a quick way (without adding the AddIn) to Create and Save Pivot Table & Slicer Styles in Excel that can then be Copied directly into your Workbook for you to use

Use the Pre-defined Fill Colours and Themes to create some really awesome Pivot Table Styles or simply select your own Colours

Pre-defined Colours #back to top

There are 34 Pre-defined Fill Colours and 7 Header Colours to start you off. Just select one of them in the Drop-down Combo Box in Cell "D6". The settings will update with the new Colours and the Swatch will be rendered with the main Colours used for the Style - the Long, RGB, HSL and HTML Colour Codes will also be shown. Here are the 34 Colour Styles and 7 Header Colours with a Swatch example for the Calypso Fill Colour and Desert Storm Header Colour (Swatches can be recreated if you change any of the main Colours using the Recreate Swatch Button):

Here is a Pivot Table and Slicer created by the Calypso Colour which has Row Banding on by default (this can be toggled on/off as required). Sometimes, depending on the Colour chosen you will have to tweak the settings to use White for specific elements otherwise the Font will be unreadable (I have done this for the Calypso Colour):

The AddIn #back to top

Repivot Version 1 has now been deprecated and Version 2 is released as a fully-featured AddIn. The AddIn allows you to create and Save Themes and Styles for both Pivot Tables and Slicers. The benifit of the AddIn is that you can do this as you work, styling and restyling as you want

The Repivot Group on the Contextual PivotTable Tools, Design Tab of the Ribbon

The first Button is the button used to Restyle or 'Repivot' your Pivot Table. Then you have a separator bar. Then you have a 'Delete Style' Button which will delete the Style named in the Style Box if it exists. The other Button on this section is the 'Delete Theme' Button which will delete the current Theme in the Theme Box if it exists. The Style Name can be entered into the Style Edit Box - this is adjusted or created when the Repivot Button is pressed. The Theme can be selected in this section using the Drop-down Combo Box or you can Type in a new Theme name and a new Theme will be copied from the Default Theme

After the next separator bar you have the 'Select Colours' Button which is a Drop-down Menu enabling you to change the Colours used throughout each Style. You can change the Font, Line, Fill, Headers and Row / Column Banding. Repivot creates a blend of Colours from the single Fill Colour that you select. Repivot also chooses whether to display the Font given or to use a White Font if the luminance means that the Font would not be display or be readable

On this Menu, you can also view a Swatch of all of the Colours with Long, RGB, HSL and HTML Codes

After the next separator, you have all of the Checkboxes that allow added settings like, Bold Header, Bold Filter Lables, Bold Grand Totals, Bold Sub Totals, Banded Row Headers and Underline Row Headers. These are saved automatically with the Theme as they are adjusted

The Reslicer Group on the Contextual Slicer Tools, Options Tab of the Ribbon

The first Button is the button used to Restyle or 'Reslice' your Slicer. Then you have a separator bar. Then you have a 'Delete Style' Button which will delete the Style named in the Style Box if it exists. The Style Name can be entered into the Style Edit Box - this is adjusted or created when the Reslicer Button is pressed. The Theme can be selected in this section using the Drop-down Combo Box - you cannot Type in any new names, they must be created using 'Repivot'

After the next separator bar you have the Radio Buttons which are used to Style the Slicers in terms of how Light and Dark the Colours are ie. Ultra Light, Light, Lighter, Medium, Dark and Ultra Dark. After the next separator, there are three more Checkbox settings, 'Slicer Border', 'Header Colour as Fill' and 'Dark on Light Variation'. Slicer Border will display a Border for the Slicer or remove it. Header Colour as Fill will use the Header Colour for the Theme instead of the Fill Colour. Dark on Light Variation will swap the way that the Hover Compliment Shade is used ie. Dark on Light Variation will show a darker Fill Colour on Hovering over the Slicer Elements instead of a lighter Fill Colour on Hovering over the Slicer Elements. After the last separator, there is an 'Unselected Items Shade' adjustment which allows a tweak to the Shade rendered for Unselected Slicers with or without Data

Themes #back to top

Themes are inbuilt into the Repivot Workbook using VBA and set specific settings including Colours. Select a Theme by clicking into the Cell "N25". I will select the Carlsberg Green Theme. You will notice that everything changes nicely to fit the Theme. Press the Adjust Styles Button to Style the Pivot Tables and Slicers - here is an image of the Carlsberg Green Theme on a Pivot Table and Slicer:

FAQ #back to top

How can I apply an Excel Theme Colour to the settings?

Choose the 'xlDialogPatterns' option from the Drop-down Combo Box for the Colour Picker Dialog. Then you can pick a Colour Theme

Colour Dialog xlDialogPatterns Screen Shot

How do I copy a Style into my own Spreadsheet?

You have a few options. You can use the 'Copy Styles to Blank Workbook' Button to copy 1 or more of the Styles into a Blank Workbook with the option of copying the Swatch Colours as well. You can use the 'Copy Styles to Closed Workbook' Button to copy 1 or more of the Styles into a Closed Workbook where you simply select your Excel File and the Code will do the rest. Lastly you can simply Copy the 'Pivot Table' Worksheet directly into your own Workbook and then immediately delete it - the Styles will persist and then you can use them in your own Workbook
