When the Pivot Tables were created, do they all use the same data source?<br />
<br />
When creating a second pivot table using the same data source as a previous pivot table there should have been a message asking if you wanted to use the same data source. By saying No to this message it increases file size, hence why it is offered.<br />
<br />
However, if the tables are linked to the same data source, refreshing one table will refresh all of them at the same time. I suspect this is the behaviour that you are seeing here that you want to get away from.<br />
<br />
I suspect to get round this you would have to reset the data source for each pivot to be independent.<br />
<br />
If this is on a large data source, I am guessing that this behaviour is causing the user's computer to slow/freeze while refreshing pivots whereas if they were done individually it may not cause this.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
