Per the Youtube video, I want to use PivotTable Analyze to create a dashboard. Here is the Youtube video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTlQvyNQ3PM&list=PLRKGHtTCDCzSy7tajGGF_M_Qmo7xdp8Z0&index=25 I want to get the ribbon option for PivotTable Analyze to show up per this snippet from that video. I've made sure that PivotTable Analyze is active on the tools ribbon, but I cannot figure out how to see the tools ribbon OR get the PivotTable Analyze button to show up on the Main ribbon.

    Hi @Tom Noble,

    Did you create the PivotTable? What version of Office did you use?

    If you create a Pivotable in Excel this tab will be appeared automatically.

    I suggest you Open Excel- go to File- Options- Customize Ribbon- select Tool tabs- make sure the PivotTable Analyze is checked:

    Years and many Excel updates later this issue STILL persists. Toggling the PivotTable Analysis option in the Tab Group resolves the issue until you quit and reopen Excel and half the time no PivotTable Analysis option in the ribbon.

    Super frustrating....
