Some of the formatting on my Pivot Tables remain after refreshing, some
formatting does not. I have "preserve formatting" checked, "Autoformat
Table" unchecked. Excel 2002. Any help would be appreciated - I have had
formatting problems with Pivot Tables for years!!
 
You may have to enable selection (From the Pivot toolbar, choose
PivotTable>Select, and click on Enable Selection)

Before formatting cells, use the selection feature to select the cells.
For example, move the pointer to the top of a column in the pivot table
(just above the column's heading cell). When the black arrow appears
(like the one that appears when the pointer is over a column button),
click to select the column in the pivot table. Then apply the formatting.

If that doesn't work, you could record a macro as you refresh and
reformat the pivot table. Then, run that when you want to update.
