Default Pivot Chart Created from Pivot Table is Blank

Hi,

Blank charts usually result from having your cursor in a blank area when you
start.

1. Put the cursor in the pivot table
2. Choose Insert, and pick a chart type.

Done.

Second way:
1. Put the cursor in the pivot table
2. Choose PivotTable Tools tab, Options tab, PivotChart, pick a chart type
and click OK.

Done

Third way:
1. Put the cursor in the pivot table
2. Press Alt+F1

Fourth way:
1. Put the cursor in the pivot table
2. Press F11

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

HELP!!! I am following a tutorial in an Excel 2007 book step-by-step. In
one of the lessons I was able to successfully and easily create a pivot chart
from a pivot table. In my next lesson, I am following the exact same steps
(even have started over a couple of times), and when I create a pivot chart
from the pivot table in this lesson, it creates a blank chart. WHY DOES IT
DO THIS??? I know I have followed the steps correctly. Any ideas on why
Excel isn't cooperating with me on this lesson would be soooo appreciated.
