When you click Export to Excel on the Microsoft Office PivotTable toolbar you receive an error message similar to the following: When you click OK, Microsoft Excel loads the PivotTable, but without some of the formatting that was applied in the PivotTable list control.

These problems occur when you use a number format in your Office Spreadsheet or PivotTable list that Microsoft Excel does not support.

To work around this problem, you must only use number formats that are compatible with Excel.

For more information about custom number formats in Excel, click Microsoft Excel Help on the Help menu, type custom number formats in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
