Are copied Pivot Tables "linked" to each other ?
I have '1' great working pivot table. I copied that worksheet that had the
Pivot Table on it. Thus I have the original '1' pivot table and a new '2nd' Pivot Table separate worksheets. When I make a successful change to Pivot Table '2' ex: Group & Show Detail / Group / Months... the change also appears on the original Pivot Table '1'. Is there a way to break the link between the two or ... should I refrain from copying Pivot Tables and build the Pivot Table '2' from scratch ? Thank you in advance, Joe |

Option 3, actually. Yes, you shouldn't copy the PivotTable if you don't want
them linked, but when you "build from scratch" choose the option to base the new PivotTable off of the old PivotTable. It'll now be independent in setup, but won't use 2x memory. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "adidas12121" wrote: I have '1' great working pivot table.

When you copy pivot table 1, or create a pivot table based on pivot
table 1, those pivot tables will share the same pivot cache. Then, if you group a field in one pivot table, that field will also be grouped in the other pivot table. If you want the pivot tables to have separate pivot caches, and separate groups, then create the second pivot table from scratch, based on the same source data that you used for the first pivot table. If you see a message that asks if you want to base the new pivot table on an existing one, click the No button. adidas12121 wrote: I have '1' great working pivot table.
