I only have text data in my excel spreadsheet. I have a small group of
managers and each is assigned to several employees. The employee information
contains last name, first name, address, telephone. When i create a pivot
table and use the manager as a column heading and the last name as data i
only get count totals and not the employee name. How do i get the employee
names to appear as data??

Hi Brad

You can't have Text appearing in the Data area of a PT.

Drag Manager to the Row Area
Drag Lastname to the Row area
Drag Lastname to the Data area as well

You will see a list of Managers, with a list of subordinates offset in the
next column.
If required, hide the column which shows all of the "1"'s
