Dear sir or madam,

I created a pivot table 1 and pivot chart (Chart is related to another pivot table 2) on the same sheet.
When I update the pivot table by changing filters, the size of the chart does not stay the same.
Properties Chart: don't mo16728-voorbeeld.jpgve or size with cells.

I have inserted a picture. I change the slicers. Than Pivot table is getting shorter or longer. The problem occurs that the size of the "pie" chart is also changing.

Is there a solutions for this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards, Marco

    Because you filter the table by slicer in Excel but not a PivotTable, please try this method and help you fix the Chart size:
