    Hidden raw data file in my computer?

    Hello,

    One of my clients sent me a file which has one sheet only - a pivot table.
    When I'm trying to get the data source, it shows: '\Users\Isaac\Desktop\[SupplySheet_External-Jan_RAW.xlsx]Inventory_Avails_Sheet_01_02_20'!$A$1:$BB$447187

    The file they sent me is "SupplySheet_External-Jan.xlsx" (and that only).

    They probably don't want me to have access to their raw data, but my questions are:
    1. can I have access to it?
    2. why does the referrer point to a file located in my computer, while there is nothing there but the pivot file?
    3. How can I do it myself?

    Thank you!

    Is the file sent to you called SupplySheet_External-Jan_RAW.xlsx that "just" contains the pivot table?

    If so there is another tab in the workbook that is either hidden (or very hidden) or is visible and the sheet tabs have been removed

    you need to either:
    go into your excel options and enable the sheet tabs
    click on the sheet tab and click the right button and choose unhide

    if these don't work you need to run VBA code to unhide the data,

    Hey,

    None of these worked because it's not the sheet that's hidden. it's the file.

    This is what I got from my client (the "pivot" file): SupplySheet_External-Jan.xlsx
    This is the source data the pivot is referred to: SupplySheet_External-Jan_RAW.xlsx

    Different files.
