Pasting Pivot Table as Values... losing Borders and formatting

Hi Brian,
There is a fairly good technique to paste the PivotTable values and formats, but it cost you some extra steps!
You can use the Format Painter to grab the format to the second instance of the PivotTable.
After you paste the PivotTable as values, go to the original PivotTable, highlight it, press Format Painter button, and then paint the second PivotTable!
Another method (Two levels Paste):
- Highlight the first PivotTable and copy it.
- Go to another location, and press Ctrl+Alt+V to open the Paste Special dialog box.
- Select Values and then hit OK.
- Press Ctrl+Alt+V again.
- Select Formats and then hit OK again!
