Hello. I'm in Excel 2007 pivot table. A different sheet with source data show up when you double click the value cell inside the pivot table. My questions is how to make the columns autofit in the source data sheet. For example, the data source has 12 rows and 11 columns and all 11 columns are the same width. Is there any way (may be using VBA?) to automatically adjust the column width based on the contents.

Thanks!

Hello

Just stumbled upon this topic, which seems to have had not a lot of attention.
Since I came here through Google, I bet other users will face the same problem. Hence, my solution.

Well, this is possible through VBA. You could add this event to the ThisWorkbook section of the VBA code:

Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
    Sh.UsedRange.Columns.AutoFit
End Sub

When Excel creates the new sheet, this oneliner is fired.
When you create a new sheet in any other way, this code is fired as well, but does not have any side effects
(since for a new sheet, autofitting the usedrange of cell A1 is harmless).

HTH.
