I am having trouble keeping numbers formatted in a Pivot Table
I have a pivot table that won't stay formatted. The data is formatted as
currency in the worksheet that the Pivot Table is drawing off of. It shows up as a general number in the Pivot. I've tried formatting it in the Pivot but it doesn't stay when I refresh the data. "Preserve formatting" is checked on the Pivot table, so it SHOULD be preserving any formatting I apply to the pivot table, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I know I could record a macro to format this, but it is happening on multiple Pivot tables in the same workbook and that would be a pain to run the macros every time I refresh the data. I'd like to just resolve the problem. Any suggestions? |

You may have to enable selection (From the Pivot toolbar, choose
PivotTableSelect, and click on Enable Selection) Before formatting cells, use the selection feature to select the cells. For example, move the pointer to the top of a column in the pivot table (just above the column's heading cell). When the black arrow appears (like the one that appears when the pointer is over a column button), click to select the column in the pivot table. Then apply the formatting.
