Pivot Table Formatting


Posted by Jan on September 28, 2001 6:13 AM

I use Excel to create a Pivot Table for our court calendar each week. I would like to know if there is a way to keep the formatting of the Pivot Table when I refresh the data.

Yes...

...make sure that you've Enabled Selection and set
all of your PAGE fields to "(All)" before you
apply your formatting.

See the Excel Help topics for...

"Format a PivotTable"

"Formatting is lost when my PivotTable is
refreshed or I change its layout"

In the "Pivot Table" drop down menu, "Table Options", select/check "Preserve Formatting". This should maintain your formatting changes when you refresh data.
