Linked tables will have an icon next to their names

As each data model is linked to a specific pivot table, changing one will affect the other. You can change this fact from any worksheet that is using the data model, though it will need to be changed for each page that is utilizing the model.

  • Select the worksheet you wish to alter before choosing the option for Power Pivot and then the Power Pivot Options menu.
  • At the bottom of this row of tabs, you will find a list of tables that are currently being used and what they are currently being linked to. Linked tables will have an icon next to their names.
  • Choose the Linked Table option, followed by Update Mode and then choose the option for Manual. If you wish to update the data mode while it is in manual, look for the Update option which can be found under the Linked Tables menu.

Add a new data model

Once you have created a data model, it is also possible to add disparate data to it as well; this is most effective if the data you are working with is named.

  • To start you will want to choose the data that you want to add to the model, or if the data is already in a named range, you will only need to select any cell that is already a part of the range.
  • Next, you will want to select the Power Pivot tab from the ribbon and then choose the option for adding an additional Data Model.
  • From there you will want to select the Insert tab and the option for Pivot Table. From there it is important to make sure the dialog box for adding data to the existing model has been checked.
