Refreshing When a File Opens

In Excel 2003, if your pivot table source data changes frequently, you might want to ensure that the pivot table is updated as soon as the file opens.

You can set a pivot table option to refresh the pivot table automatically:

1. Right-click a cell in the pivot table, and choose Table Options.
2. Under Data options, add a checkmark to Refresh on open.
   
3. Click OK to close the PivotTable Options dialog box.

Tip: To stop a long refresh, as the file opens press the Esc key.
