There are two main ways to share PivotTables and PivotCharts with others for collaboration in Excel:

1. Sharing the Workbook:

This is the simplest method, but it requires everyone to have access to the same workbook file.

* Save the workbook: Make sure your workbook containing the PivotTables and PivotCharts is saved on a shared location like OneDrive, SharePoint, or a network drive accessible to all collaborators.
* Enable co-authoring:
* For Excel Online or OneDrive: Ensure co-authoring is enabled in the document settings. This allows multiple users to edit the workbook simultaneously.
* For Desktop Excel: Go to the "File" tab, then "Info." Click on "Protect Workbook" and uncheck the "Share Workbook" box. This enables co-authoring for users with edit permissions to the file.
* Grant edit permissions: If the workbook is stored on a shared drive, ensure collaborators have edit permissions to the file. This allows them to interact with the PivotTables and PivotCharts directly.

2. Publishing to Excel Online (For Online Collaboration):

This method allows for collaborative editing and viewing through a web browser.

* Save the workbook to OneDrive or SharePoint: Ensure the workbook is stored in a cloud location accessible to collaborators.
* Publish to Excel Online: Go to the "File" tab and choose "Publish." Select "OneDrive" or "SharePoint" depending on your storage location and follow the prompts.
* Share the link: Once published, you'll receive a link to the workbook. Share this link with collaborators who can then view and potentially edit (depending on permissions) the PivotTables and PivotCharts within the web browser version of Excel.

Additional Considerations:

* Refresh data: If the PivotTables or PivotCharts are connected to external data sources, ensure collaborators have access to the same data source for refresh purposes.
* Permissions: Set appropriate permissions for collaborators. Decide whether they can fully edit the PivotTables or just view them.
* Version control: When using cloud storage, leverage version control features to track changes and revert if needed.

By following these methods, you can share your PivotTables and PivotCharts for collaborative editing and analysis with others.
