Change source data in a pivot chart
Did you try moving the pivot table to see what would happen? I just did a
quick test with a pivot table and standalone chart. I cut the pivot table and copied it to a different sheet, and the pivot chart knew where the pivot table ended up. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "johnb" wrote in message ...

Change source data in a pivot chart
Hi Jon
Thanx for the reply. Like many user requests this job started out as single pivot chart with a pivot table supplied with data from an excel query which in turn extracted data from a Access db. But its now expanded over the years to 30+ PC's and PT's and the associated queries are a pain to maintain. So I've decided to use an ADO connection straight into the Access db to grab the data and create the Pivot tables using VBA in a standard module, its works great. I now need change the Source Data for each chart to point at the new PT's and I can't do it! So I'd be grateful if you can cast some light on this problem.

Change source data in a pivot chart
Sounds complicated. Wouldn't it be easier to ditch the old chart and create
a new one, since you're creating the PTs via VBA anyway? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "johnb" wrote in message ...

Yes. In the absence of an easy solution. I'm going to create the charts using VB. What on earth possessed me to become an IT man??
