Excel 200 Pivot Field Selections Are Locked
 
I have opened a worksheet with a pivot table in it. When I try to change (by
clicking in the selection box) in the dropdown field to show only the
selections I want to see I cannot, the boxes are locked. How do I enable the
ability to change these selections

What version of Excel are you using?
In which version of Excel was the pivot table created?
Is the worksheet protected?

Debra,
Iam am using Excel 2000 and the worksheet is not protected. I copied and
pasted the data form the excel spreadsheet I had issues with into another
spreadsheet and had the same issue. Any ideas?

Can you create a pivot table from different data in other workbooks?
Is it just this data that is the problem?

I repasted the data and the pivot dropdown worked - can't explain why.
Thanks for you help

Just one of those Excel mysteries we encounter. Glad it's working now.
