I've got a pivot table, one on each sheet. Both pivot tables display similar
information, but in slightly different ways. Question is, can I set it up so
BOTH pivot tables respond to changes in the "page" dimension of one pivot
table.

It would be nice to change the "Year" dimension in PT1 and have that year
carry across to PT2. Currently, I have to change the year in BOTH pivot
tables manually.

Any ideas?

You may be able to do this with a Macro or VBA, but, AFAIK there is no Pivot
Table feature that allows you to "synchronize" separate Pivot Tables. |:)

The following code is adapted from a posting by Robert Rosenberg. It
changes the second Pivot Table if the page is changed on the first PT.
You could revise it to suit your layout. As noted in the code, place the
code on the module for the worksheet which contains the Pivot Table
(right-click the sheet tab, choose View Code).

Dim mvPivotPageValue As Variant

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
'by Robert Rosenberg 2000/01/11
''I use a module level variable to keep track of
''the last selection from the Page Field.
''This routine was place in the Worksheet
''containing the PivotTable's code module.
Dim pvt As PivotTable
Dim pvt2 As PivotTable

Set pvt = Me.PivotTables(1)
Set pvt2 = Sheets("OtherPivot").PivotTables(1)
If LCase(pvt.PivotFields("Customer").CurrentPage) _
< LCase(mvPivotPageValue) Then
'The Page Field was changed
Application.EnableEvents = False
pvt.RefreshTable
mvPivotPageValue = _
pvt.PivotFields("Customer").CurrentPage
pvt2.PageFields("Customer").CurrentPage _
= mvPivotPageValue
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

End Sub
