XL2000: Formatting Lost When You Publish a PivotTable

CAUSE

When you publish an Excel PivotTable, most of the cell formatting is lost. The following formatting elements are not retained when you publish an Excel PivotTable:

• Cell borders
• Font formatting
• Cell patterns
• Cell alignment
• Number formatting

NOTE: This limitation includes all formatting that you apply to a PivotTable using an AutoFormat. It also includes formatting that you apply using the Format Cells dialog box.

NOTE: Number formatting is lost if you apply the formatting directly to the cells on the worksheet. When you use the PivotTable Field dialog box to apply number formatting to the PivotTable, the number formatting is retained when you publish the PivotTable.
