Pivot table exceeding size

I have a pivot table with 87K rows and 5 columns, when I tried to refresh the data, I got an error for "pivot table does not fit on the sheet."  However, from the public documentation on size limit, the limit seems to be much greater than 87K.  Is there another reason why I might hit this error?

  • Are there any filters on your Pivot Table that may be reducing the current size to 87k rows but when you refresh the filtered element disappears therefore unfiltering the Pivot and making it expand?

    How many rows of data are there in your source table?

      In the source table, many many rows (I don't even know).  I do have some filters on there.

        Check if your filters (including the exact column names) exist in the source data.
