Disappearing Data Items on Pivot Table -Updated Question
I have just created a pivot table with two column fields, 1 row field and six
data fields. I can select on the column and row fields but when i try to select items on the data field, the unselected items disappear when i go back into drop down menu on data field to make another selection. The only way to get it back is to add the field to the data. Is there a way of fixing the fields in data. Yours desperately George |
De-selecting a Data field always removes that field from the Pivot table. It
assumes you no longer wish to aggregate that data. Selecting or De-selecting Rows or Columns (or Pages) is merely changing the view of the data that has been aggregated. -- Regards Roger Govier "GeorgeChe" wrote in message ...

Thanks Roger. Following on from your response, Is it possible to fix data
field so that it can not be de-selected? Thanks George "Roger Govier" wrote: De-selecting a Data field always removes that field from the Pivot table.
