Relinking Pivot Tables to Main Table
 

I have a Pivot Table in Sheet 1 named "pvtMain". In the other sheets
within the spreadsheet I have several pivot tables which link to
"pvtMain". Thus all I need to do is refresh the data in "pvtMain" and
all of the other pivots refresh automatically. The problem I'm having
is that if I change the source data that "pvtMain" links to, the
dependent pivot tables still access the original source and not the new
source. How do I get the dependent pivot tables to automatically link
to the new data that "pvtMain" is now sourcing without going to each
individual pivot table and using the wizard to relink each table?

On a side note is there any code that allows me to easily change the
source data that "pvtMain" is linking to?

Any help is much appreciated.

Relinking Pivot Tables to Main Table
 

Ron Coderre has a pivot table add-in that lets you view and edit the
connection string and command text, so you can change the source:
