    Refreshing a variety of Pivots tables

    Hi

    Can someone help me?

    I have a document that contains a variety of pivot tables run from different spreadsheets. Is there any way you can have a programmed button to press which refreshes all the pivot tables in a wookbook?

    Please note that there are a few on different sheets of the wookbook.

    It saves me having to refresh all individual ones?

    Any help at all would be much appreciated!

    Thanx

    Lorna

    You can't. You did ask for a macro to run from a button, didn't you?

    That is a macro.
    If you just want them to refresh when the workbook is opened, then that is an option in the pivot tables themselves - you don't need any code at all.

    Sorry - New to all this,

    Im purely self taught but these little things are difficult.

    where would i get something like that - when the workbook is opened the tables refresh?

    That option is only available if your data comes from an external source - not within the workbook.
