Default Pivot Table from External Datasource of Excel Workbook

Hi,
I'v setup a workbook as my datasource which has six tables and there are
joined as a relational database using MS query. When I tried to create a
pivot table from a saved query out of my data source in the same workbook
where my data source is, it did not allow but, I created the pivot table in a
new workbook and copied it to the workbook in which my sourcedata exists, it
works fine.

My question is, Is this a good practice? Is there any other alternative?
Also, If want to modify the pivot table, I have to follow the above steps
agian. What is the best thing here?
