PRB: Pivot Table in Excel Does Not Update (129308)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5
This article was previously published under Q129308 SYMPTOMS
If you create a Pivot Table in Microsoft Excel using Visual FoxPro's Pivot
Table Wizard and then change the data in the table on which the Pivot table
is based, the Excel Pivot Table does not update to reflect the change in
the underlying data.
RESOLUTION
To update the data, right click any cell in the Pivot Table in Excel. Then
choose Refresh Data from the context sensitive menu.
STATUS
This behavior is by design because of performance issues associated with
Microsoft Query having to retrieve data from a FoxPro table in Excel.
MORE INFORMATION
The FoxPro ODBC driver passes data to Microsoft Query. Excel then retrieves
the data from Microsoft Query. For the data to be automatically updated in
the Pivot Table, FoxPro would have to notify Microsoft Query every time
data changes in a table on which a Pivot Table is based.
