i have used external data sources for a pivot table, however I need to trace them, the question is How?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
One way I do this is to import the data into Excel using MS Query, and then base the Pivot tables on the query. That way, the datasource is available for viewing at all times.
