Default Updating Pivot Table Data automatically from external workbooks

Hi,

I am creating an external reporting package based on a large source
file. In order to consolidate the size of the package I am using
Pivot Tables that pull from the source file. Is it possible to update
the source of a pivot table "automatically" when the Update Links
option is chosen? We go through several iterations and often move
from a v1 of the source file to a v2, 3, etc. The pivot table link
doesn't seem to be classified as a link and therfore doesn't update.

Any thoughts/ideas on how to circumvent this would be much appreciated
as automation within the workbooks is key to efficiency and accuracy
of data.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this.

Kind Regards,

JT
