When you ready to paste your pivot table data, from the Edit menu, choose
'Paste Special'. Then choose 'Values'. This will paste only the values from
the Pivot Table removing all pivot functionality.

Hope this helps.

I have produced a Pivot Table and want to use it as a base to add
further information from other areas. I have copied and pasted the
Pivot Table to a new spreadsheet. I can not work out how to remove the
Pivot Table functionality (leaving the information created by the
pivot table) to create a normal spreadsheet that can then be
manipulated further.

Please advise how I can remove the original pivot table functionality
to create a normal excel spreadsheet?

Thanks for your help.
