how do I extend an existing pivot table's range
I have an existing pivot table that, after some work, is producing the
results my boss and I are after. Now, in the spreadsheet that is the base for the pivot table, several dozen new rows have been added. Is it possible to extend the range that the existing pivot table is based on, or even to change it? I really don't want to have to go through re-creating it. tia |

how do I extend an existing pivot table's range
If you right click on the pivot table, select pivot table wizard, select back
and then re input the range into the box you can do this. "Chris Smith" wrote: I have an existing pivot table that, after some work, is producing the results my boss and I are after.

how do I extend an existing pivot table's range
Hi Chris
which version of Excel do you have? If it is XL2003, click on a cell in your source data then DataList Create List. This will create a named list which is dynamic and will grow as your data grows and will add formulae (if necessary) to any new line added. ON the PT itself, right click a cell PT wizardbackGive the source as =LIst1 or whatever your list is named. If you have XL2002 or lower, then create a Dynamic Range InsertNameDefine Name myRange Refers to =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A),COUNTA($1:$1)) This assumes your data starts in column A and your headers are in row 1. Adjust as appropriate. It also assumes that column A has contiguous data with no gaps. If that is not the case, choose a column for the first COUNTA where this will be true. Again in the PT wizard, give the source as being =myRange For more help on Dynamic Ranges take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site http://www.contextures.com/xlNames01.html#Dynamic -- Regards Roger Govier "Chris Smith" wrote in message ...

how do I extend an existing pivot table's range
Hi,
There is no need to name the list or use the list name for the pivot table source. As long as you indicate the range Excel will take care of the rest automatically. (Excel 2003 or 2007). -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Chris which version of Excel do you have? If it is XL2003, click on a cell in your source data then DataList Create List.
