I have a Pivot chart that is very sensitive. When mutually exclusive variables are selected in any of the 4 visible drop down filters, it crashes. I understand why it does this, I'm just wondering how to prevent it. When you do this mismatch in a pivot table, the data field just goes blank, but it does not crash and reboot/recover file.

So why does the pivot graph crash. This means my users will have to pre-know what is compatible and what conditions are mutually exclusive, right?

My clients are executive who don't really know any of this...

Any tips/suggestions would be appreaciated~

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
First, what is "crash" I have never had a pivot table do this and second, why "I understand why it does this..."

Unstable to me would indicate the potential that dynamics external to the file are at work, I would value the spreadsheet if linked externally.
