Hey all,

I'm at my wits end here. I know pivot tables are quirky to say the least, but I'm literally unable to do my job at this point.

I have a data source of 1070 rows, and 10 columns. After creating a pivot table (With slicers) I generally apply some (BASIC) formatting to make it easier to read. (Center/middle alignment, wrap text)

Clicking the center align button causes excel to go into "not responding" for a few minutes.

After formatting, slicers selections takes 3-10 seconds to show sliced data, and formatting isn't retained on all cells.

If I clear formatting, slicer selections load INSTANTLY when clicked.

If I use formatting on larger datasets, it will basically break Excel.

I've tried googling, and while it looks like others have similar issues, I haven't found a solution.

When applying formatting, I do the following:
-Clear all slicer filters
-Select all columns of pivot table (Also tried selecting all cells in the workbook)
-Apply formatting

Other:
-"Preserve formatting" on the pivot table is selected
- Tried unchecking "Properties follow chart data" in advanced options - no change.

Computer specs (Brand new/fresh install of windows & office)
13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13800H
RTX A1000 6GB Mobile
64.0 GB (63.6 GB usable)
Windows 10 Enterprise
Office 365 Version 2308

Any help here would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Chris
