Default Pivot Tables and Column Labels

Does the source data table have one row of headings?
Is there text in every heading cell? Perhaps there are hidden columns
that don't have heading text.

I'm having some trouble creating a pivot table with a large amount of data
that has fields arranged in columns - store, brand, address, supplier a,
supplier b etc.

When I go to create a pivot table, I select all the data including the
titles and get an error telling me I have to create column labels before it
will do the pivot table.

What's wrong here? Shouldn't it just pick up on the titles as being the
fields?
