Format a pivot

[officegirl]

After I format my pivot table every time I change the info in it , it turns
back to the original format, not just when I update it but when I am looking
for a specific combination of info

Hi

Right click on PT>Table Options>deselect Autoformat

I followed the instruction below and set up a pivot table/chart.

All other formats are untouched however the "value" in the chart is lost
every time refreshed. Is there any way to protect it as well?

Thanks!

Loss of formatting is a known problem with pivot charts. There's
information in the following MSKB article, which suggests recording a
macro as you apply the formatting:
