Hi,

If you are really talking about the Report Filter area = Page Area (2003), I
can't duplicate your issue - for me it works the same in both versions.
However, it works the way you describe for 2007, in 2003. The Page Area
filters do not reduce to showing only the releveant items.

I recently upgraded to Excel 2007 and I'm having difficulty with pivot
tables. I have a pivot table with three report filter fields. In previous
versions-2003, once I select criteria in the first filter drop down box, the
second filter drop down box would only show me a subset of the original data
based on the first filter. Once I select the criteria in the 2nd filter pull
down box, the the 3rd filter pull down box would only show me a subset of the
source data based on the first two filters applied (i.e. there are fewer
choices after each query). In 2007, I noticed that once I select criteria in
the first report filter pull down box, the 2nd pull down box shows all
filtering options - i.e. there is no relationship to the first query criteria
that has already been defined. Is there a way to reslove this? I hope this
makes sense.
