Pivot Tables

Is there a way that when you create a pivot table you can keep the colour changes made on the graph when you refresh the data?

RE: Pivot Tables

Hi Julia,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately there is no way of achieving that in the front end of Excel.

However you can write VBA code in the Visual Basic Editor Window to create the Pivot Table and Chart and all the formatting.

So each time you run the macro it creates the Pivot table and chart again based on the code so the formatting is all the same.

Our Excel VBA 2 day Intro/Intermdiate course has Pivot Tables written into it.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Importing Numbers in Excel 2010

Occasionally, when importing data into Excel you find that the some of the imported values are treated as text.

To convert these numbers to actual values, click on an empty cell and press Ctrl+C.

Next, select the range that contains the values you need to change and in the Clipboard Group on the Home tab, click the Paste drop-down arrow and choose Paste Special. In the Paste Special dialog box, select Add and then click OK.
