Excel 2010, PP V2

Hi all, I have a very large dashboard with vba, slicers, and many pages of different power pivots. We had an upgrade to our db and now the source header names have changed. Is there a way to update the power pivot data, so that it feeds to all pivot table and slicers?

I know I can left click on the PP window columns and update with the new name, however, when I go to update all the pivot data, I get errors that it fails to refresh, or name conflicts or it blows up the slcier connection.

Does anyone have a suggestion or know a better way?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Terry

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
If you go into the Design tab of the PP Window can you make the adjustment with Table Properties?
