How to remove PivotTable format.
Probably a dumb question with an obviuos answer,but I don't see it.
I have been sent an Excel Read-only workbook but the worksheet is formatted as a PivoTable report. As a result - even though I have made a copy of the Read-only report, I cannot sort the data in the worksheet - I can only filter it. I can see how the PivotTable sheet would have been created - by using the original data set, creating a PivotTable report, and saving it as a new workbook. But how can I reverse the process and get back to the original data set? What is the secret? Thanks. Mike |

How to remove PivotTable format.
Hi Michael
If the PT report was saved with the Pivot Cache, then double clicking the Total value (bottom right of table) will open another sheet with a copy of the underlying data. If under table Options, the original file was saved without the Save Data with Table layout checked, then there is no way you can get at the source data. -- Regards Roger Govier "MichaelRobert" wrote in message ...

How to remove PivotTable format.
OK. It wasn't the question that was dumb - it was the questioner!
The format that I wanted to remove was not PivotTable, it was Autofilter. And a simple click on Data to uncheck Autofilter did the trick. Quote from Dr. Bill Summers, FSU : "It is not what we don't know that will get us into trouble; it's what we know that just ain't so!"
