Default Error "invalid data source reference" for pivot table

What version of Excel are you using?
In Excel 2003, can you create a list from the data (DataList)?
In Excel 2007, insert an Excel table.

Then, try to create a pivot table based on the List or Table.

Check that the source range doesn't include extra columns at the right
or left.

That didn't work. Anything else I should try? All columns do have headings.

Try pasting it into a new workbook.

I am attempting to create a pivot table (which I've done in the past) but I
get an error stating that the "data source reference is not valid." The excel
data was created from out internal software in Comma-Seperated Values (CSV)
format. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
