Hi,

I have no problem selecting just the columns I want. Here is what I'm
doing, you tell me what's different with your approach.

I open both Excel files and tile them on screen.
In the file where I want the pivot table I choose Insert, PivotTable
I then click in the other window and select the two columns I want.
When I hit OK the new Pivot Table Field List only shows the two fields I
selected.

I tried it with the source range defined as a table and it still worked.

Hi!

On the previous versions of Office, when I usually do a Pivot, I always use
the external data source. Now, even if my external data source is another
excel file, I can still select the columns which I want to use on the pivot
to save space. When I do this on Office 2007, it seems that if you use
another excel file as your external datasource, it captures all the columns.
Is there a way that I can select only the columns that I need?
