Fields in a Pivot Table

Hi Jonathan

I'm not too sure what you mean by this but, When a pivot table is created the headings found in the first row of the table are taken by Excel to be the Field Names and placed in the Pivot Table's Field Name List.

So by draging these names onto the Pivot table it will produce the required results

Hope this helps

Then try this. Select the range the formula cells appear in on your sheet. Format, select Conditional Formatting menu. In the dialog box under Condition 1, select "Formula Is" from drop down. Next to it in the Formula Box, enter the formula =Istext(A1. Click Format button , choose desired formatting settings and click OK. To go ahead and apply the conditional formatting click OK to accept
