Where are the pivottable chart buttons?

And that is the only way to filter? The buttons in the graphs are not
featured anymore in Excel 2007?

Thanks,

Jelmer

That's right, there are no buttons on the pivot charts in Excel 2007.

Hi Debra,
I have just posted my own question on this and then found this thread. My
specific problem is that if the chart is printed or viewed by less
experienced users it's not obvious how the data is filtered. When the buttons
were visible so was the filtering data, how is this addressed in 2007?

Unfortunately, it's not addressed in Excel 2007.
You could add a title to the chart that links to a worksheet cell, and
show the selected date that way.
For example, if the date filter is in cell B3, select the chart title,
and type an equal sign. Then, click on cell B3, and press Enter

That's unfortunate. I often develop complicated models that are viewed and
used by people with much less Excel-saviness. Those buttons were extremely
user-friendly and allowed my clients to play around with the numbers and know
exactly what they were looking at. I hope that they return in the next
version.
