After you create a pivot table, you might add or change records in the source data. Sometimes the pivot table does not update correctly, to show the new data. Or, you might not even be able to find the source data, in a large workbook.
To help with these problems, I've added a new page on my Contextures site, with tips for finding and fixing the source data for a pivot table.

Now that spring has officially arrived, it's time to start the garden. It's still too cold to plant outdoors, but we bought some seeds, and little peat pots, and got started indoors. We planted tomatoes, lettuce, basil and parsley, and it will be fun to watch them grow.
Last Thursday, I got an email from Chris W., who has been through the 3 courses at Excel University -- an online Excel training course designed specifically for accountants. Chris was very impressed with the content, and the customer service, and said that I could share his comments:
"I have taken all three of the Excel University courses and found them to be quite informative and beneficial to my work...the real value behind these courses is Jeff Lenning, the course creator and instructor. Not only is his style very clear an engaging, he is most attentive to any questions or clarifications you might have. I have emailed him at 7:30 pm on a Sunday evening and have gotten responses within the hour."
