My source data has a column for PRODUCT. When I first built my pivot table
from it certain product names were abbreviated (I have since given them full
names). The problem in the pivot table is when the PRODUCT field is moved to
the row position the abbreviated and full name both appear as options. Yet
when I move PRODUCT to the page field no abbreviations appear. I have
rechecked my source data and refreshed the pivot table countless times and
cannot get the abbreviated value to go away in the row field. Even removing
the field altogether and reinstalling it does not work. Any suggestions?

There are instructions here for clearing old items from a pivot table:
