Hi, kind of new to pivot tables. What I would like to know is after one
creates a pivot table. And then I decide I need a new extra colum that will
still be connected to the pivot table.
Well how do I do that??

To add field:
Right-click on table, show field list, drag the field you want into your
report.

Adding a column to raw data that feeds PivotTable:
Right-click on table, view wizard, click 'back' until you get to the data
selection window. Increase the size as needed, then hit 'finish'. (note that
you then need to add the field as well)

Hi,

Assuming you have just added a new column to the raw data, to the right of
the old data, choose PivotTable, Chart Wizard, Back
then hold down the Shift key and press the right arrow once, click finish.

In 2007 right-clicking will not give you access to the needed command
(why?). Instead, select the pivot table and choose PivotTable Tools,
Options, Change Data Source...
