pivot table; adding kolomns to the base-table afterwards
 
Hi,

I have a MS Access database table (actually a query view on a table)
I use this as data source for some pivots

The problem:
I have extended the query so it contains some extra fields, but those
fields do not show in the PivotTable fields list. Does anyone know the
trick? I have tried to refresh the data, saved and reloaded the
excell, but this does not help.

Thanks in advance!

YOu need to redefine which fields the pivot table looks at. Bring up the
pivot table wizard and hit the Previous button to take you back to where Get
Data was defined. Hit Get Data and select the new fields you want for your
Pivot Table...

You can redefine the source data range by right clicking one of the fields in
your table and selecting Pivot Table wizard. Then hit the back button and
you can re-define the fields. If this doesn't help post back.
