    Question Excel Pivot Table Not Working in Excel for OS 14.6

    I have been looking all over for an answer to this issue, but I never seem to find a clear answer. It seems that it must work based on what I have read, but I am missing something. Half my sales team is using Apple iOS products but love the pivot tables I have set up but we cannot get them to work in the iOS version of Excel from Office 365. Even versions that I know are fully updated.

    I have an Office 365 Excel Workbook (Version 16.0.14). I have a data tab that has a table that is not linked to anything outside of the workbook. I have confirmed this by looking at the Existing Connections. Everything is in the workbook. I have created a simple pivot table off of that data looking at the sales of customers with one filter for months. I am doing this simple just to figure out what is going on. No matter what I do I get the message "This PivotTable connects to an external data source that's not supported in this version of Excel.". Although, I see people out there that claim it should work.

    Any incite is appreciated. Thank you.

    Did you load the data to the data model when creating the pivot table, or is it a regular pivot table?

    It was a regular pivot table and I had tried using a data model before and it didn't seem to work, but I realized that was an older version of Excel on our server. So this time I tried again but with the most current version through Office 365. It still did not work. In fact this time it had a message right away. "Read Only - You can't edit this file because it has content that this version of Excel cannot display". Then if I click on the filter to make a change I get the standard message in my original post.

    I am attaching a sample of the workbook.
