auto update pivot table
ive attached a demo pivot table here and want it to update,
if it helps to put the pivot table on another page I will do that.
I want to be able to add new dates, invoices and $ amounts to the dataset and have it update in the pivot table..I thought this would be the case but it is not.
kindly,
jitterbug888 Just press "Refresh" after you have entered new data, then your number for January 2018 will be included in the PT.

Follow up question to this issue. I've used Excel for years and have created pivot tables on numerous occasions. I'm running into some issues since I moved to Office 365 on my Mac. I'm using an iMac with the latest updates to Excel 365.
I have a pivot table that is not automatically adding one particular row that is something different from what's in the pivot table rows when I refresh the pivot table. (It used to work that way.)
The area of the data source has not changed - it's set up so that I have a major break for "project" and underneath that rows for "type". I added a new "type" today, and, thinking that since it is within the original data source, it would automatically populate when I refreshed the pivot table.
What step(s) am I missing? is there a section specifically for Mac Excel users?
Thanks,

dkinpgh1 Not sure I can relate to your question. I'm a Mac user myself and on Office365. I don't understand "- it's set up so that I have a major break for "project" and underneath that rows for "type"
Can you upload an example?
