Microsoft Excel

Is there anyway to keep the formatting in an excel pivot table?
Example - when you bring a column of values into the pivot table and format as %, and then subsequently remove the column. Whenever you next include the column it does not keep the formatting and shows as numbers rather than percentage?

RE: Microsoft Excel

Hello Anita,

Its not possible to achieve what you want, as soon as you remove the column of data excel will revert the cells to general. It does this because it has no idea that you intend putting the same type of data back in at a later date.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark
