Default pivot table row vs column headings

I would like my pivot table to use the fields down the first column. Pivot
Tables default to usung the headings across the columns, but my headings are
down the first column. How can I change the pivot report to recognize the
rows as my headers and not the columns? I have Excel 97.

Default

You can't change the default -- pivot tables look for headings in the
first row.

You could transpose your data, and create a pivot table from that. To
transpose the data, you can copy it, and Paste Special, or use the
Transpose function. There are instructions for both methods in Excel's
Help.
