Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams

official Microsoft global customer service number.
I would like to know how to do consolidated pivot tables on the new excel 2016 for mac. Before it was possible to activate the pivot table Wizard by pressing Cmd + Alt + P but that does not work anymore and I cannot find any other way to access it. Anybody
experience with that?
Are you referring to the Pivot table Builder, if yes then double click on any cell on the pivot table and it should be you the PivotTable Analyze ribbon.

It appears Joe has no clue about this. All it would take for him to do is to press Cmd + Alt + P in 2011 to see what happens. But I guess he couldn't be bothered.
As you already know, when you press Cmd + Alt + P is a keyboard shortcut to display the PivotTable wizard. The wizard has been cut from 2016.
The Ribbon is supposed to replace the wizard.
If you can provide a step-by-step what you are doing in 2011 in a reply perhaps someone out here in internetland can explain how to do the same thing 2016.

Not sure about MAC products or functionality but you can use the wizard in Office 2016.
My Employer upgraded use to Windows 10 and Office 2016. The Wizard is still available. It can be added to a new group in the ribbon. It can still be accessed via shortcut by using <Alt>+<D> then <P> as usual. However, on our network, step 3 of the wizard
will fail if you choose to put the pivot table in a new sheet. It still works if I select existing sheet. I can then cut/paste the newly created pivot table to a different sheet afterwards. This issue started with a recent update of Microsoft server side
products on our network. Our I.T. folks are fairly clueless as to how to fix this and I can not find documentation from Microsoft on the problem or solution. Weird. If, however, you do not use consolidation ranges in pivot table functionality then you do
not need the old wizard. I do not, therefore I should just use the newer 2-step process off the existing menu.
