Pivot Tables
 

I have a pivot table which works beautifully but have and oddity that while
it doesnt affect results, its annoying and odd.

In my data, I had formerly items called HDD and FIN. I pivoted over my data
and these were used as a row grouping. I then change my data to read
HelpDesk and Finance instead of HDD and FIN.
When i refrehsed my Pivot table, it changed the table to read the new data
settings but when you click on the header to select, deselect items, I can
see HDD, FIN, HelpDesk and Finance. I selected HDD and FIN only and there is
no data to display as these do not exist in my data. so, why do they still
show in my pivot table selection options.
How can i remove them?
Tks

Pivot Tables
 

Hi Rob

Drag the filed off the PT, do a refresh, then drag it back again.
That should clear all of the old items.
If that doesn't work, go to Debra Dalgleish's site and run some code to
clear the items
