Default Pivot table range selection changes when opening 2003 xls in Excel 2007

Hi Saqib,

I can reproduce the problem. It seems to be a bug in Excel 2007.

Usually, I use dynamic ranges to define the data range for a Pivot Table
rather than selecting the whole column.

i.e. create a named range say 'data' with a formula like
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),7)

This returns a range starting at A1 with 7 columns and whatever number of
rows that have data in column A.

It seems to get around the problem.

You can find more information on dynamic ranges in the Excel database

Hello everybody,

Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue? It happens on all excel
documents, where the entire column was selected for the range. After
conversion to Excel 2007, the selected range is truncated to 16384
rows of data. We have way more rows in the spreadsheets than 16,384.

I have created a video of the issue, which is available @
