Pivot "row hide menu" keeps having items I don't have anymore!?!?
Hello, my excel file manages expences and has columns for date, amount,
account and type of expence. This one for example had values like clothes, food, toys and so on. As I understand the pivot "row hide menu" gets items from the data page values so I'll find correctly clothes, food, toys....and I can select on or more of them to be displayed in my pivot. PROBLEM: The question is...when I cancel all the expences for food I expect to have "food" item cancelled also from the hide menu...but it keeps staying there and that is very annoying because I suppose the number of items will increase with the time to an amount hard to manage. The page field has a property to hide the items from the "hide menu" drop down list while the row and column fields haven't. Any idea how to hide items or update them so to automatically sync with the values of the main sheet? English is not my language but I hope I was clear enough to make you understand what is my question!!!! Thank you, Ataru |

Try right-clicking within the pivot table and selecting Refresh Data

Perhaps so. I don't have 2003, so I couldn't verify that for you...

And even the code posted on Microsoft anyway doesn't solve the
problem...maybe that was written for O97 and not for O2003. No solution!??!!?? I wonder why because that must be a common problem people may have using the pivot table. I wonder.....!

Debra, thank you for the help...that is great. I still wonder why that
feature (for me a problem) is still there in Excel 2003. Hope won't be in the next release.
