Excel version 365 - Pivot table refresh
We have been upgraded to the latest version in Excel and I am trying to refresh my pivot tables but I get the following message:
'A pivot table report cannot overlap another pivot table report'.
On my older version of excel we could overwrite this and the refresh would work. Can you advise on how the refresh can work on the latest 365 version please?
Thanks
Andrea
RE: Excel version 365 - Pivot table refresh
Hi Andrea,
Thank you for the forum question.
You get this message:
'A pivot table report cannot overlap another pivot table report'
When on refresh two or more PivotTables overlap. You must have more than one PivotTable in your report. You will need to insert enough rows or/and columns between your PivotTables to not have this overlap.
It is the same in all Excel versions two or more PivotTables cannot be on top of each other.
Sorry I am not sure What you mean by "On my older version of excel we could overwrite this and the refresh would work."
If you in the source data have added more rows the PivotTable will expand down on refresh and you will get the error if you have another PivotTable just under the first one.
