"Rames" wrote in message ...
Sometimes I re-use the same pivot table, but just change the data. The
column headers are always the same, but the row "headers" change.

When I refresh the table, the new data comes up properly, but the old row
headers remain in the drop-down lists at the top of the table.

Does anybody know how to "purge" the old data from a pivot table?

Thanks
