Hello-

Based on the message, 'duplicates' is not your problem, *Unique* items is.

Pivot tables are limited to 32,500 unique items per field. So if you're
analyzing product sales, for example, its OK to have the same item# appear
repeatedly, you just can't use more than 32,500 *different* item#s.

Make sense?
