POWER USER PRO TIP

Reviving Data from Pivot Cache

What would you say if I told you that you can create a PivotTable, then delete the source data itself with absolutely no impact to the pivot?

It’s entirely true — in this tip I’ll introduce you to something called the Pivot Cache, and demonstrate how it can be used to remove (and later revive) your underlying source data.

COMMON USE CASES:

  • Removing static source data to reduce file size or increase processing speed
  • Limiting accessibility in order to prevent users from changing the raw data
