Pivot tables 2 row labels
 

I am trying to create a pivot table and want to have sales rep names and
company as the rows. Is there a way to have the sales rep name repeat
everytime with the company instead of how it looks below? I am going to have
to use the output of the sheet to do a vlookup on another sheet and in this
format I can't make it work. Thanks!

Company 1

Nope--not if you want to keep it a pivottable.

But you could convert to values (or copy|paste values in a different location),
then fill the blank cells with the value of the cell above it.

Debra Dalgleish's site has some tips:

I don't want to keep it as a pivot table. It is a large spreadsheet so I was
trying to move everything manually.

The site you shared with the copying is great. I will use that info once I
get the data into 2 separate columns.

I can't find the video on the site you shared anymore. I was going to follow
the written instructions, but don't know where to find edit.

Debra Dalgleish explains how:

and a video
http://www.contextures.com/xlVideos01.html#FillBlanks

The Edit is an option on the worksheet menubar in xl2003 and earlier.

If you're using xl2007 (or any version of excel!), you can hit: F5 or ctrl-g
to get to that dialog.
