    Cannot open PivotTable source file

    When I try to Refresh All my PivotTable gives me the error "Cannot open PivotTable source file". This source file is a report in a book that is several years old. I did not and have not asked this PivotTable to be connected to this report. I have ran a search and find on the entire workbook for the wrong source file. Nothing is found. This error is limiting the ability to change Pivot Styles. How to I fix this?

    I don't quite understand what you mean. Is it possible that you post a sample of the file containing the malfunctioning pivot table?

    This doesn't work for me because it is not hosted on a web server.
    This is locally hosted.

    Any more suggestions?

    File is to large to post with sensitive data.

    Try running this:

    which will create a sheet showing the source for each pivot table, as well as the table's location.
