Pivot Chart Created from Pivot Table is Blank

[RaidersFan]

HELP!!! I am following a tutorial in an Excel 2007 book step-by-step. In
one of the lessons I was able to successfully and easily create a pivot chart
from a pivot table. In my next lesson, I am following the exact same steps
(even have started over a couple of times), and when I create a pivot chart
from the pivot table in this lesson, it creates a blank chart. WHY DOES IT
DO THIS??? I know I have followed the steps correctly. Any ideas on why
Excel isn't cooperating with me on this lesson would be soooo appreciated.

Hi,

Blank charts usually result from having your cursor in a blank area when you
start.

1. Put the cursor in the pivot table
2. Choose Insert, and pick a chart type.

Done.
