+title: Fix “Can't open PivotTable source file” error in XlsIO | Syncfusion
+description: This page explains how to resolve the "Can't open Pivottable source file" error using Syncfusion .NET Excel library (XlsIO).

+# How to resolve the “Can't open Pivot table source file” error?
+
+Deleting the source worksheet and refreshing the PivotTable may work in the current session, but reopening the saved workbook and refreshing can trigger this error. If “Refresh data when opening the file” is enabled, Excel will not disable it automatically. This is Microsoft Excel behavior, and XlsIO follows the same behavior.
+
+**Recommendations:**
+
+* If you need to remove the worksheet that contains the PivotTable’s source data, hide the worksheet instead of deleting it.
+* If the source worksheet no longer exists, disable IsRefreshOnLoad before saving the workbook.
+
+The following code illustrate how to disable the IsRefreshOnLoad property.
+
+{% tabs %}  
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C# [Cross-platform]" %}
+using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
+{
+    IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
+    application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Xlsx;
+    IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Open("Data/Sample.xlsx");
+    IWorksheet pivotSheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
+   
+    IPivotTable pivotTable = workbook.Worksheets[1].PivotTables[0];
+    PivotTableImpl pivotTableImpl = pivotTable as PivotTableImpl;
+
+    //Disable the refreshing option
+    pivotTableImpl.Cache.IsRefreshOnLoad = false;
+
+    #region Save
+    //Saving the workbook
+    workbook.SaveAs("Output/PivotTable.xlsx");
+    #endregion
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C# [Windows-specific]" %}
+using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
+{
+    IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
+    application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Xlsx;
+    IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Open("Data/Sample.xlsx");
+    IWorksheet pivotSheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
+   
+    IPivotTable pivotTable = workbook.Worksheets[1].PivotTables[0];
+    PivotTableImpl pivotTableImpl = pivotTable as PivotTableImpl;
+
+    //Disable the refreshing option
+    pivotTableImpl.Cache.IsRefreshOnLoad = false;
+
+    #region Save
+    //Saving the workbook
+    workbook.SaveAs("Output/PivotTable.xlsx");
+    #endregion
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+{% highlight vb.net tabtitle="VB.NET [Windows-specific]" %}
+Using excelEngine As New ExcelEngine()
+    Dim application As IApplication = excelEngine.Excel
+    application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Xlsx
+
+    Dim workbook As IWorkbook = application.Workbooks.Open("../../Data/Sample.xlsx")
+    Dim pivotSheet As IWorksheet = workbook.Worksheets(0)
+    Dim pivotTable As IPivotTable = workbook.Worksheets(1).PivotTables(0)
+    Dim pivotTableImpl As PivotTableImpl = TryCast(pivotTable, PivotTableImpl)
+
+    ' Disable the refreshing option
+    pivotTableImpl.Cache.IsRefreshOnLoad = False
+
+    ' Save the workbook
+    workbook.SaveAs("../../Output/PivotTable.xlsx")
+End Using
+{% endhighlight %}
+{% endtabs %}  
+
+
+The following code shows how to hide Excel worksheet.
+
+{% tabs %}  
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C# [Cross-platform]" %}
+//Hide the worksheet
+worksheet.Visibility = WorksheetVisibility.Hidden;
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C# [Windows-specific]" %}
+//Hide the worksheet
+worksheet.Visibility = WorksheetVisibility.Hidden;
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+{% highlight vb.net tabtitle="VB.NET [Windows-specific]" %}
+'Hide the worksheet
+worksheet.Visibility = WorksheetVisibility.Hidden
+{% endhighlight %}
+{% endtabs %}
