@Alan, if the file was originally saved with pivot tables, in Excel 2003 format, then converted to Excel 2007, the classic Excel layout persists, and override the 2007 pivot styles.

If that’s the problem, try copying the source data to a new workbook, and create the pivot tables there.

Hi Debra,

I have been trying to set a default PivotTable design in Excel 2007.

I have tried the steps above but it does not seem to work. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Hi Carim, not that I know of. You can use the Style gallery, or create a macro to format the pivot table.

Hi Debra,
In addition to the Style gallery,
is there a simple way to set all the various parameters of the pivot table display options ?
Thanks for your help
