Pivot Charts Updating

Hello

I have 1 pivot table and 3 basic pie charts coming from it. When I update the source data and refresh the pivot table, only 1 of the charts is auto updating. Please help.

Thanks

Donna

RE: Pivot Charts Updating

Hi Donna

Thanks for your question, I have a couple of trouble shooting ideas for you so please try these steps then let me know if you're still having problems.

First of all, double check that the data you're changing in the source data actually affects the values on the second and third PivotCharts. If your charts display different data sets, eg chart 1 shows sales, chart 2 shows costs, then they will not all update in the same way.

Secondly, try making the PivotCharts again from your PivotTable. Do they behave in the way you expect (ie update when the PivotTable is refreshed)? Sometimes it can be easy to click a wrong option by mistake, but if you try again you can fix the problem. If they do refresh, then simply delete the charts that aren't working.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Excel tip:

Use Paint Brush to Format More than one Cell

To copy a format to many cells or ranges

1. Select the cell with the format that you want to copy

2. Double-click on the paint brush

When you move to the cell where you want to paste the format you will notice that a paint brush follows the cursor.

Paste the format to all the cells or ranges you need to format.

When finished go back to the paint brush on the tool bar and single click on it to deactivate the function.
