Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / July 2008

Unfortunately, the Mac Excel implementation of pivot tables is not 100% on
par with the Windows implementation. One example is that Mac Excel does not
support pivot charts. So the alert may simply be reflecting the fact that
the pivot table you created in Windows Excel does contain some formatting
that's not supported in Mac Excel. If you would be able to send me a file
that produces this alert when opened in Mac Excel I should be able to verify
that the alert is valid.

Thanks,

Hi Andrei,

Unfortunately Excel 2008 does not support ŒPivot table styles, I think this
is the alert you are seeing?

In Excel 2008 we alert on load as we do not want to blow the data, if the
user sets the style to Œnone¹ or has the default file format to save as Xls
in Windows Excel (Xls does not support ŒPivot table styles¹ either for PC
and Mac) then the file can be round tripped successfully in Excel 2008.

Thanks!
