Default Changing the Layout of a Pivot Table

Dora,

The pivot table's job is to look down a column, and group all the like things it finds, and
put one of each in the pivot table, either down the left or across the top. Then it gives a
total from another column of all the cells in each group, one for each group it found.

Prana1,

Now you know why they call it a "Pivot" table. Really.

Good day!

How does one change the layout of a pivot table, so the results appear from
a format like this:

AvgA 7
AvgB 5
AvgC 8

to this:

Avg A AvgB AvgC
7 5 8

thanks very much!!
