A colleague is using pivot tables to present data that has been collected from evaluations. Some of the fields on the original form allow for free-standing text (without a character limit). Some evaluations have more than 255 characters in that field, which is truncated in the PT. Can anyone suggest a work-around for this?

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Don't use a pivot table? :)

Where are the long text fields being placed in the pivot - values area or row/column fields?
