Filtering out Pivot Table Items that use an OLAP connection usin

Hello,

I currently am creating a report that lists countries and their performance over monthly periods.

One of the report filters I have put in is 'Affiliate ID', which is a customer tag that I need to filter out.

However, there are thousands of Affiliate IDs, and I need to filter that list down to 8800, which is far too hard to do manually.

I use a data connection to obtain my data, using an OLAP connection, and I was wondering how I could link a list of affiliate IDs I have in a separate sheet to the larger list in the report filters to just include those I need in VBA?

Thank you very much!

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell

=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
