I'm trying to create a pivot table in Excel 2007, something I have
done a thousand times in 2003. However, no matter what I do, the
wizard just tells me that the data source reference is not valid.
I have a table with ITEM NAME, COMPANY NAME, QNT, PRICE, LINE PRICE
etc as columns. Each column contains only one data type (ie either a
number, or a currency, or a date etc) and the whole table is set as a
table with the name SALES.
Whether I type the name of the table, or let the wizard select it, or
type a range of cells, or drag using the selector in the wizard, i
just says the same thing.
Even tables from the 2003 sheets which work fine in pivot tables dont
work in 2007 !!!
Any idea why ?

I have had no difficulty running any of my Xl2003 Pivots in XL2007.
Are you sure you don't have any hidden un-named columns?
Try again with Data>Insert table>give it a different name>then with cursor
within the table>Data>Options>Create Pivot Table.
If that doesn't work, you can email me a copy of the workbook and I will see
if I can see what the problem is.
