Pivot table: dynamic report filter?

Hello,

I'm facing in any issue in a quite large spreadsheet I created.

In a worksheet (say "worksheet A"), I have a table where in columns B C D E, I have various color choices (say "red", "blue", "green", "black", etc...) and where column F is my helper column, which combine the text value of all my other columns (B C D E).
For example, in column F, I will end up with:
redblue
blackgreenred
redgreen
etc...

I created pivot tables to help sort it all out, where column F is in the Report Filter. Each pivot table is so filtered by color by manually selecting all .
For example, pivot table "GREEN" will only show column that contains "green" since I manually ticked all combos containing "green" in the search field.
But when I enter new data in combination that did not exist before (for example, "greenblack"), the pivot table doesn't show this.
Is there any way to do that automatically, without macros?
 
I have found a another way, using VLOOKUP and arrays, but still interested in knowing if my question above has an answer :-)
