    "Get External Data" issue (Excel 2007)

    Hello all :-)

    I have an .xlsm file with 15+ Pivot Tables.
    There is also "Raw Data" Tab in that file.
    "Raw Data" is the source data for all Pivots.

    I want to remove "Raw Data" from that file and use External Data for Pivots.

    I've created (successfully) external Excel file with "Raw Data".
    I go to "Data" Tab -> "Get External Data" -> "From Other Sources" -> "From Microsoft Query".
    There is a connection for my "Raw Data" file.

    Issue:

    Currently all 15+ of my Pivots are still pointing to the tab with "Raw Data"
    and when I go to "Options" tab -> "Change Data Source"
    then my "Use an external data source" is grayed out (not able to select it).

    Any way to fix it?

    Thanks!
    Michael

    Hi MichaelDude,

    Not sure but what about if you tried to start with the source data as your Raw Data in a separate file & then create your pivots in another workbook?

    May be worth a try.

    Hope this helps.
