Using Pivot Table

[mailkrips]

Hi,
I am using Pivot tables tp view a set of data. I have been using this Pivot table for about 4-5 months. Recently I observed that there are lots of additional values in the Drop-down menu of the "row" section. These values are those which I had used in the past. but now do not exist in the Excel sheet from which I am pulling the data for the Pivot Table.

Can you sugest a method by which I can clear these additional values?

Thanks

Try refreshing your Pivot table (right click on it and choose "refresh").

Thaks for the reply.

I refresh everytime I edit the sheet, but the old values still remain in the Drop down menu. Actually, it does not show the old values "in" the pivot table after I refresh. But, the Drop-Down menu shows the old values which do not exist now.

Can you suggest some other method?
Thanks

It's an interesting read. But don't do anything until you see the last post, as depending on your version of Excel, the solution may be as simple as what's described at the end.
