In Excel 2007, when I copy a pivot table with it's chart, the new chart copy
remains linked to the original pivot table's data series. Furthermore, when I go to the chart and select 'Change Data Connection' it is all grayed out. So, I cannot seem to figure out how to produce a copy chart off of a copied pivot table. Here is what I would do in Excel 2003 specifically, that I cannot seem to find an alternative in Excel 2007: 1. Stage my data in Excel in "Sheet1" 2. Create a new pivot table on a new sheet called "Pivot1" and the chart on a sheet I called "Chart1". 3. Copy both the Pivot1 and Chart1 sheets and begin customizing the chart of "Chart 1 (1)". As I would customize this copy chart, the pivot information in "Pivot 1 (1)" would change, but nothing would change in the sources of Pivot1 and Chart1. This is an extremely useful technique in Excel 2003 for generating many different chart views of pivot information, whilst preserving the pivot table information for each one individually. I really hope there is an easy way to do this in Excel 2007. The options that I seem to have, neither of which are as efficient as my Excel 2003 process a 1. Save original pivot chart as chart template and then apply that to new pivot chart created from scratch. 2. Create pivot chart from scratch and customize chart from scratch. If there is no solution in Excel 2007 to something that Excel 2003 did in default, then I would suggest an "Excel Options" option be created called such as a checkbox for "Pivot Chart copies remain linked to source Pivot Table". Thanks in advance. |
