I was going crazy trying to figure out why I was getting the "No Connection" dialog box. Thank you for the solution.

Hello Dawn Wright, I tried this Excel Slicer trick of staying clicked into the data table, but it does not change the outcome of the "<No Connections Found>" issue. Is there anything else I need to be looking out for as well? I still use Excel 2010.
