Quickly Move a Large Pivot Table

Sometimes you have to move a pivot table, after you’ve created it. That’s not too difficult if the pivot table is small – just select all the cells, cut them, and paste in a new location.

With a very large pivot table, it’s a bit harder – you have to scroll through the worksheet, and try to select all the cells, including any report filters.

Fortunately, there is a Ribbon command that makes the job much easier.

Use the Move PivotTable Command

To quickly move a pivot table, follow these steps:

1. Select any cell in the pivot table
2. On the Ribbon, under the Pivot Table Tools tab, click the Options tab
3. In the Actions group, click the Move PivotTable command
4. In the Move PivotTable dialog box, select New Worksheet, or select a location on an existing sheet.
5. Click OK, to move the pivot table.
