Default adding more data to pivot table.

Thank you for such a fast response. Let me give you more detail.

I have a monthly report to which I add new data daily. When a new month
comes in, I add the new data for the new month, and also add a YTD.
Yesterday, I added all data up to end of July, with no YTD. Pivot was fine.
Today I added Aug data with YTD and pivot moved July data to bottom of pivot
and August to the correct location. In other words, it gave me duplicate
names with their July results pushed down to the bottom of the pivot table.
Never had this happen before. I also wonder why the new data is not inserted
to exsisting data and not just added to the bottom of the pivot.

Shawna,
You cannot add columns within the piviot. I have had the best luck adding
the columns for additional data to the right of the orginal Pivot. It is a
little unclear how you added the additional data

I add data to an exsisting pivot table every day and month. When I added a
new month, it added the new data to the bottom of the pivot table instead of
adding it to the correct column. example:

Jan Feb Mar Apr
John Smith 5 2 6
April Jones 2 1 4 3
John Smith 2
B. Smith 3
Why does it add below and not at top under the month? I've tried the
options, doesn't fix it.
