    Problems updating Pivot Table with new data

    Dear Folks,

    I am trying now for hours and hours to solve this problem, but always the same error message appears. It says "this command requires at leat two rows of source data. You cannot use this command on a selection in only one row." But this is wrong as I am selecting more than one row.

    This is what I want to do:

    I have an Excel file with data in it. I need to create a Pivot table to access and view data more easily. This has to be done every day for reporting. To make work easier I want to have a preset Excel file (with Pivot tables in it) in which I just clear the old data and copy/paste the new data and refresh the Pivot table to get the new results. Is that possible? Data amount will change therefore I think I need a dynamic Pivot table.
    Columns are staying the same, only lines are changing (i.e. old data = 200 lines , new data = 250 lines)

    It would be great if anyone can help me.

    Thanks.

    All the best,

    Andres

    Re: Problems updating Pivot Table with new data

    Why not just define a dynamic named range as the data source for the pivot table, then you can easily just clear the old date, update the new data, then refresh the pivots.

    Oh, and not sure why this is posted in the Access sub forum?!
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...
