Pivot Table Formatting
 

Some of the formatting on my Pivot Tables remain after refreshing, some
formatting does not. I have "preserve formatting" checked, "Autoformat
Table" unchecked. Excel 2002. Any help would be appreciated - I have had
formatting problems with Pivot Tables for years!!

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.

If that doesn't work, you could record a macro as you refresh and
reformat the pivot table. Then, run that when you want to update.
