XL2000: PivotTable Wizard Does Not Automatically Refresh Data (214302)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q214302 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you change the data or the field name of a list
that is included in a PivotTable, and you then start the PivotTable
Wizard, the information in the existing PivotTable is not updated unless
you click Refresh Data on the Data menu.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel.
WORKAROUND
To refresh the data, click any cell in the PivotTable and then click Refresh Data on the Data menu.
MORE INFORMATION
You can use the PivotTable Wizard to change the list range, the
arrangement of fields in the page, column, row, or data areas, and the
location of an existing PivotTable. However, the PivotTable Wizard does
not automatically update the data in the existing PivotTable.
After you create a PivotTable, you can select a cell in the PivotTable and
click PivotTable on the Data menu to display the source information. However, clicking this command does not automatically refresh the data.
NOTE: Changing the field names in the original list may cause inaccurate results when the PivotTable data is refreshed. To change field names, click PivotTable Field on the Data menu.
