First you have to insert a pivot table. To do this go to the Insert
tabTable groupPivotTable button and build you table. Now whenever you
click anywhere in the pivot table a task pane will appear on the right with
the field layout and you will also have two contextual tabs appear at the
top of the ribbon in a tabset called PivotTable tools. These are called
Options and Design.

This theory runs throughout Excel 2007, you only get certain tabs when they
are in context.

Really having difficult time with Excel 2007 pivot tables. Can't seem to
find
the tools tab, design and layout tabs I see everyone referring to on this
board. Have tried help files but just can't see these features. Any help
will
be appreciated.
