If you have more than one field in an area, you can rearrange their order by dragging them to the
correct position. To delete a field, drag the field out of the areas section.
Show in Compact Form keeps related data from spreading horizontally off of the screen and
minimizes scrolling. This layout is automatically applied when you create a PivotTable.
As shown in the picture, items from different row area fields are in one column and the items
from different fields are indented (like Qtr1 and Canada). Row labels take up less space in
compact form, which leaves more room for numeric data. Expand and Collapse buttons are
shown so you can display or hide details.
Show in Tabular Form shows everything in a table format, which makes it easier to copy cells to
another worksheet.
As shown in the picture, this layout uses one column per field.

then pick the one that shows the data the way you want.
5. Click OK.
Excel places the PivotTable on a new worksheet and shows the Field List so you can further
rearrange the PivotTable data as needed.
Notes
Using a recommended PivotTable is a quick way to get started on the right path. However, you
can still create an empty PivotTable to add your own fields and layout. Just click PivotTable on
the Insert tab, instead of Recommended PivotTables.
You can also create a PivotTable from external data like an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)
data source, or base a PivotTable on the Data Model so you can analyze data in multiple tables.
Instead of the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard you could use in earlier versions of Excel, youll
be using the PivotTable or Recommended PivotTables commands on the ribbon to create
PivotTables. However, if you miss the wizard, its still available. You can add it to the Quick
Access Toolbar, or press ALT, D, P to start it.
