If you need to do it a lot, either set up a template, with the pivot table defined, and then copy
the new data over your old data table, or record a macro.

Is that the only way to do it. I have to routinely add 100 or so variables.

Dragging one by one is how it is done, or write a macro that does it for you.

I want to add some columns to the pivot table. i do this by dragging the
items to the data area. How can I add many items at the same time instead of
dragging them one by one.
