    Change in data names, after refresh disappears from pivot table?

    I have a list of customer name with unique customer ID's. In the pivot table it sums up the totals on customer name (so one customer can have more than one customer id). Now if I change the name of the customer and then refresh the pivot table, the data fully disappears?

    e.g:
    situation
    cust name cust id amount
    blabla WVGV 1.000
    bla bla ABCD 500
    This gives 2 different customers in the pivot table with a customer id, which is off cours correct.

    Now I change the data to (because the customer is the same customer):
    cust name cust id amount
    bla bla WVGV 1.000
    bla bla ABCD 500

    After the data change I refresh the pivot and would expect the 2 customers have become one with 2 customer ID's, but in stead all of the data is gone?

    Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Can you upload your example so we can understand your issue better.
    There's always a way.

    I have re-read your example and think I understand it a little more.
    Do you have a report filter set up?
    If you have excluded certain 'cust name', when you update it may lose your data due to the criteria.
    If you previously had "blabla" selected in report filter, then changed the data to "bla bla", it is still trying to show "blabla" which no longer exists.
