Does anyone know how to set the number format default for pivot tables (or
excel) to something other than what it is? For example, I want the default
to be " ," and 0 digits. Alternatively, can you set the format for a group
of fields vs. setting 1 at a time. Thank you.

Hi Sarah

You cannot set a default number format in PT's in any version of Excel.
You cannot set it for a group of fields at a time, it has to be field by
field.

If the PT is on a separate sheet, you could select the relevant columns
of your table by holding Control as you click them, then right click and
set the number format for them all in one go.
