In Excel 2002 and later versions, there's a PivotTableUpdate event that
you could use.

If you're using an older version, you can use the Worksheet_Calculate
event, as Mike suggested.

Also, in older versions, when you're selecting cells to format, use the
Pivot Table selection, instead of selecting cells with the Excel
pointer. You may have to Enable Selection first. (From the Pivot
toolbar, choose PivotTableSelect, and click on Enable Selection)

Then, 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.

Or, use the commands on the Pivot TableSelect menu, e.g. select the
entire table, then choose to Select Data.

Then apply the formatting, and it may stick.

HI All,

No solution yesterday - can anyone help...

Once a person has made a selection on the page header part of a pivot
table, a need to call a macro that fixes formatting and the like of
other parts of the table.
(removing auto format table or preserve format under table options
doesnt work, I need to be able to call a macro.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks
