Pivot Tables...argghh
I have a pivot table that summarizes the information by Vendor from a PO Log
(on a different sheet). It works great UNLESS a row is added on the PR Log. If I add a row (within the pivot table data area) it does not show on the pivot table... Is there a way around this?? or should I just not add rows? Thanks in advance |

You have to update your Pivot Table when the data changes. Until you
do, the data is as it was the last time you updated it. Scott frustratedwthis wrote: I have a pivot table that summarizes the information by Vendor from a PO Log (on a different sheet).

I right clicked on the table and refreshed the data.... a bunch of times. I
even closed the workbook and reopened it hoping it would update then....neither worked. The only information it is not collecting are the newly inserted rows...

What you need to do is base the Pivot Table ons a Dynamic Named Range that
grows and shrinks when you data does. See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions: http://www.contextures.com/xlNames01.html#Dynamic Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "frustratedwthis" wrote: I have a pivot table that summarizes the information by Vendor from a PO Log (on a different sheet).

You also need to add code to your pivot table that tells it to refresh when
the dynamic named range has been expanded, don't you? -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

I thought the problem was that refreshing the Pivot Table didn't
automatically include the new records. I didn't gather that the OP wanted the Pivot Table to change immediately upon changes in the records. In typical situations, you'd want the Pivot Table to update on-demand, instead of re-arranging itself whenever the source data changed. That way once you're done adding/deleting records, you could refresh the PT and see the final product. I could be wrong....(wouldn't be the first time...or the last) *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Dave F" wrote: You also need to add code to your pivot table that tells it to refresh when the dynamic named range has been expanded, don't you? -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

You're probably right, actually, in your reading of the OP's post.
