Setting Default Pivot Table Options does not work (Excel 2016?)
Hello All, I recently discovered the new feature in Excel 2016 that allows you to set the default options for pivot tables in Options>Data>Edit Default Layout>PivotTable Options. I was very exci...
I just did standard Insert>Pivot Table and it DID work! is there another quick access button that would work? Small request but would be great if MS could fix that.
Appreciate the clue into getting this working!!

Hi! I am still having the same issue where new pivot tables are not using the custom default settings I edited. How did you get it to work? Just Insert>Pivot table isn't working for me. 😞
- The default only works for "modern" pivot tables, it does not work for "old style" pivots inserted using the old school pivot table and pivot chart wizard
I have a similar issue, and is even weirder in my case.
If I insert a pivot using Insert-->Pivot Table, it works
But if I do Alt+D+P (shortcut for insert pivot) and then Alt+F (which is Finish) then it still uses the old layout.
I normally prefer using keyboard shortcuts and not clicking.
Any solution to this?
- Alt+D, P is the keyboard shortcut for the old Pivottable Wizard I'm afraid, you cannot change that. Alt+N, V is the short-cut key for the new one. You can also add the insert Pivottable button to your QAT. Then it is alt + the-number-where-it-is-positioned-on-your-QAT.
- Okay, understandable. So how do I insert a "modern" pivot table?
- It should work on pivots inserted using the button on the Insert tab of the ribbon as far as I know. Check out Excel Options, is there a Data tab there which has a button to edit the default?
