Default Reverse Engineer Pivot Table

Is there a way to determine the source of individual cell values in a pivot
table? Thanks.

Double-click on the cell. The data that makes up that piece of info will be
dumped into a new spreadsheet.

The other method, if you're connected to a data source that's not in the
workbook, is to use the Back button on the Pivot Table Wizard, then select
Get Data.

You can get the source of the database that the pivot table uses but not an
individual cell.

The double-click option produced a lot of output. Now I just need to
evaluate it. The Excel worksheet is rather complex. Thank you for your
help.
