A previous developer created a rather complex worksheet with a pivot table,
and this worksheet connects to a database to retrieve the data.
Unfortunately, the data is wrong, and I would like to see where Excel reads
the data from.

I would like to know what datasource this Excel sheet uses to update the
pivotTable.
Once I find the datasource, how can I change the server/database?
We use Excel 2003 SP3.

Thanks.

1) Put your cursor on a cell in the pivot table.
2) Right click
3) Select 'Pivot Table Wizard'
4) Select '<Back'

This should show you the source of the data.
