Default Pivot table - 256 character limitation?

ouch.. ouch.. ouch!

i originally did my testing manually and hasty.
the string that i typed in manually was 248...

i did some real tests... and hmmm...
it will truncate text to a maximum of 255 chars.

mea culpa.
I should have known.. Excel does have a 16bit brain.

Thanks for your reply.
The exported data is not connected in any way to the
database and is completely independant.
Cell E10 in Data worksheet contains 638 characters but
when I perform the pivot table only 255 characters have
been brought across.
Any other ideas?

Thanks
