Hi all.

I noticed an irregularity with column names. I have a table with a header that I changed names on the old name : "CO. NAME" new name: "COMPANY". Yet when creating a pivot table the data is referencing the old name. Is there a way I can back track from where that bit of data is held so I can update it?

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Yes that was my first though. I deleted all pivot table and checked in VB that there were zero caches.

The header is reference correctly under the active pivot tables tabs but if using add to data model as seen above the header incorrect.

with new pivot you have new cache so check for old cache is not necessary

basic rule is don't change any header with existing pivot, less troubles

first do all what you need in data model then create pivot
