For fully automated reporting using a Pivot Table, you need a few things to be automated within the Pivot Table:

1) Pivot Table Data Range (to expand or shrink with changes in Source Data)
2) Calculations within the Pivot Table (such as calculation of Gross profit and profit Margin)
3) The Sorting Order for data in the Pivot Table
4) Pivot Table format to stay consistent with changes in source data
5) The Pivot Table should be able to Auto Refresh when new data is updated.

This video covers all of these topics, while we work together with source data in the file provided.
