Pivot Table changes formatting on new filter





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

A problem I'm running since developing a report to my client is that cell formatting I implement always get change on new data (By choosing a filter option)



So for example I have:



Title Filter -> A, B, C



Then my PivotTable prints the title.



So I chose title A in Filter so the Pivot Table shows: A



I decide to show the title as bold letter so I bold the title cell, then it becomes: A



But when I choose B, the Pivot Table will show: B



Which is not what I expecting since I change the cell formatting to bold the letter so I'm expecting to get B instead of B.



Previously I fix the problem by using Conditional Formatting and putting the condition as TRUE but one of the requirements I overlook was Wrap Text which can't be set using conditional formatting so I am back to square one.



Edit: By Filter I mean Slicer in PowerPivot

  • What's the meaning of Title Filter? Could you provide a screenshot?

I just found out from multiple trials and error, Pivot Table doesn't want to have different alignment from different cells. It will only accept changes when the whole table is selected.
