    Question on Updating my Pivot Tables and Power Pivot in my workbook

    Hi all

    I have a work book with a power pivot from which I have constructed various reports using pivot tables and pivot charts. My question is as I have over 30 pivot tables within the workbook, when I refresh the data in Power Pivot do then need to individually update every pivot table in my workbook or when I go to pivot table options and select Refresh all do all the tables get updated with the new data from the Power Pivot?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Can you not add new sample data then refresh to validate that it is pulling through?

    I am under the impression that they all get refreshed when you hit refresh all.

    I tied it and it didn't seem to update the tables in the hidden sheets. I am not sure if I done this right hence the question about when I refresh all does it automatically refresh all the data in all the pivot reports and charts even some of the sheets are hidden. If it does then it will save me a considerable time as I have new data added to my power pivot sheets every month

    Are they all powerpivot pivot tables? If so they should all refresh.

    Usually I use powerpivot to pull data in, as a data processor, then build a regular pivot table off that aggregated data. So I have to updated regular pivots then I am good.

    yes, all the data comes from power pivot then I insert pivot table for each department on a separate sheet and also insert a pivot chart using the data from power pivot. Im not sure if tis is the correct way. My data has information about activities of various departments and each table has about 20000 lines of data. I created a worksheet for each department and inserted pivot table which gets its information from the power pivot (I hope this makes sense).

    From what you are saying, they should all automatically refresh when the raw data refreshes.
