Hi,

I have a pivot table that references data in another worksheet. For some reason, the size of the pivot tableappears to have increased (from 3 columns width to 5 columns width). Is itpossible to reduce the size back to 3 columns width and then start adding infields as Rows and Labels.


My issue is that I need to keep the size of the pivot table constant because there are other data tables in the same worksheet (beside the pivot table) that I do not want to be overwritten.

Thanks

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Can you say why the pivot table is adding columns?

I imagine it is because it has columns defined by the data (e.g. monthly totals) in which case you will need to control what data is included .. either by a filter on the field that defines the columns or by adding an "include me" type column which is a main filter on the table and restricts the data selected to appear in the pivot table.
