Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:25
The excel is corrupted
User 17/08/2018 - 06:25
That doesn't sound good
Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:26
Let me retry and see
User 17/08/2018 - 06:26
OK, thank you

The file is open now :)
Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:29
Can you give me an example of what you want to refresh?
User 17/08/2018 - 06:30
The whole pivot table should refresh with all of the 2018 data.
User 17/08/2018 - 06:31
the total should change from 685 to include all of the 2018 data
Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:31
Ok. I guess currently it is showing error. Is it correct?
User 17/08/2018 - 06:32
Yes, when I try to refresh the pivot it tells me "Reference isn't valid'
Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:32
ok
Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:33
Also, currently the output (Tables tab) shows data irrespective of the data. Do you want it to be shown for only 2018?
User 17/08/2018 - 06:34
No, it is a fiscal year data so it should have some 2017 and 2018 data
Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:34
ok
Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:35
Give me a moment. It is almost done
User 17/08/2018 - 06:35
ok, thank you!
Excelchat Expert 17/08/2018 - 06:37
Here it is :)
