[mso] Re: Excel (2000, 2003) Formatting Pivot Table Sheets

Thank you Alex, for pointing me in the right direction.  The solution
appears to be to leave the Preserve Format box checked but to uncheck the
Autoformat Table option.

This is still not quite how I'd like it, in that, when refreshing the Pivot
Table, any new entries which exceed the cell width don't widen the cell to
accommodate the data.  Nothing is perfect, however <grin>.

Thanks, Alex

Unfortunately this does not solve the problem.  The Preserve Format box is
already checked.  It seems to apply to cell formatting rather than column
formatting - if I uncheck it, all the cell formatting (Font and Number
formatting) reverts to default.

Hi Andrew,



In the Pivot Table menu, there is an option that says "Table Options" or
"Pivot Table Options" once there, there is a part that says Format Options,
check the "keep format" option.

Hope this solve your problem.

Regards
