When I am refreshing data on my user-defined format of my pivotcharts excel
does not revert back to my format. How do I stop this from occuring?

This is a known problem with pivot charts. There's information in the
following MSKB article, which suggests recording a macro as you apply
the formatting:

Changing a PivotChart removes series formatting in Excel

You could record a macro as you select and refresh the pivot table, and
format the chart. Run that macro when you want to refresh the pivot table.

For information on using macros, see David McRitchie's site:
