When I refresh my pivot table, I lose some of the formatting. I've tried several fixes including "Preserve cell formatting on update". It is probably something stupid I'm missing, but I've run out of things to try.
Can someone please help with this issue. I can provide file if needed.
Thanks,
Ken Mc

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Wow, bizarre. Sorry, am out of ideas too.

Hi. Did you ever figure out the issue? I have the same problem and it's maddening. I have my format perfect and every time I refresh I lost some, but not all of the formatting. I'll lose data centering and some boarders. UGH!!!!

Not yet, but I'm still trying to figure it out. If I do, I will let you know. And yes, very frustrating!!
Thanks.

I saw somewhere someone said that it pulls new data each time to refresh (duh) but I dont know why that would mess up cell highlights, bolds, or boarders.
