Filtering Rows in an Excel Pivot table when data is only in one column

HI,

Is is possible to configure an Excel Pivot Table to only show the rows where there is a value in one of Columns.

If we start with this data

We can create a pivot table that looks like this

What I would like to be able to do is only show the rows where the Client has only purchased Product A.  this would result in only Mark and Peter appearing.

Couple of ways to do that

Page Filter
Move the "Product Type" to the Filters area in the Pivot Table settings pane (top left). It will then appear as a dropdown above the Pivot and you can choose which product to display.

Filter Columns
In your screen shot you can see the label "Column Labels" above Product a, use the drop down on that to show which product you want to see. You will then get only a column for the products you choose.
Just read again, I think you mean where client has bought only Product A and no others, options above will show Product A but won't filter out where they have also bought other products so Paul and Hayden would still be shown.

Can you upload some sample data to test with?
