Excel 2003 - Pivot Table

How do I delete a column from a pivot table that gives the message cannot delete or insert into this pivotal table?

RE: Excel 2003 - Pivot Table

Hi
You cannot physically delete the column from the Pivot Table the only way to remove it is to drag the field name off the Pivot Table and it will be removed.

Hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
