Hi All,
I'm using the datamodel feature to create a pivot with four years of data. I'm linking four excel files (one for each year)to a chart of accounts file. The COA file has 15 tabs, but i'm only bringing three tabs - departments, FTE counts, and funds into the model. I've have great success with this methodology until my coworker realized that the chart of accounts file needed additional columns, but didn't tell me, so when I copied the new COA over the existing COA I ended up with data load errors.
In short, the original tabs had 5 columns and the new had six columns, with the new column inserted in the middle. As a result, it blew the pivots tables.
Is there anyway to refresh the one table in the design mode and not have to delete the old table and relink to the new? I know when I've used the get data feature and I change the order of columns in the source file, I can edit the source query, so i'm hoping there's something similar.
thanks.
