Once you know it, you'll never go back. Suppose you create a complex pivot table and you want to create a second version so you can try a different filter perhaps. Well, today's trick lets you quickly duplicate the pivot table, rather than having to build again from the ground up. Check it out below. ➜ NewsI. II.
