Default When refreshing pivot tables my pivot table chart type changes

I created a whole heap of Pivot table charts. I also selected a default chart
type to use whereby Excel automatically used my default chart type every time
I created a new chart for pivot tables. Unfortunately when I press the
refresh button for my pivot table reports Excel automatically changes all of
my charts back to the original chart type and ignores my default chart type
which I selected.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
