    Viewing source of a pivot table

    I'm setting up a workbook with approximately six pivot tables per page. Each
    pivot table is attached to a separate query in an external database. I've
    just noticed, however, that all pivot tables on a page are pulling the same
    data. What might be causing this? And how can I view the source of each
    pivot table (the actual address of the queries, not the data produced by
    drilling down) so I can verify that they're all attached correctly?

    Click onto the Pivot Table you want to see the Data Source. Right click onto
    PivotTable Wizard. Click on the "Back" button and it will show the Data
    Source and Range.

    Ron Coderre has a pivot table add-in that lets you view and edit the
    connection string:

    Thanks to both of you. That solves it.
