SYMPTOMS

When you create a new PivotTable report in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Excel creates the report in a new worksheet even though you specify an existing worksheet.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, supply the range at which to begin creating the PivotTable report in step 4 of the PivotTable Wizard.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
