Pivot chart changes data source when slicer is changed

Hi guys,

I've Googled but I haven't been able to find any posts about my problem.

I have imported data directly from a Teradata database and imported it as a "PivotTable Report" and not as "Table". The data is about 300,000 rows which is why I'd prefer not to import this as a "Table" as it runs much smoother and saves space.

The PivotTable with the imported data is named "PivotTable2". I have then copied this pivot table a couple of times so in addition to "PivotTable2" I now have e.g. "PivotTable 3", PivotTable 4" etc.

There are slicers connected to each of these pivot tables and for each pivot table I also have 1 chart connected.

The problem that I'm having is that for some reason, when I make filter changes in the slicers, some of the charts (not all) lose their connection to PivotTable X/Y/Z and are instead connected to PivotTable2. If I right click on the chart that lost its connection and go to "Select data", I can see that the Chart data range shows PivotTable2 and it's greyed out so I can't re-connect it to the correct pivot table.

This is a recurring problem that sometimes happen when I have large data sets (100K+ rows in Excel).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm using MS Office Professional Plus 2010.

Best regards,
Daniel

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
