    Pivot Table Formatting - Rearrange data fields to be column headers?

    Hi All,

    I am pretty unfamiliar with pivot tables, but am trying to create what I think is a fairly straightforward pivot table, but am having trouble with formatting the headers the way I'd like. My Pivot table currently looks like the one below.

    Region Data Total
    Region1 Sum of Market Cap ($m) 4,544
    Count of Name 51

    But I'd like SUM of Market Cap and Count of Name to be column headers, so that I can have all data for a region on the same row. (The pivot table will need to be copied daily into a PPT presentation). Is this possible?

    BTW, using Excel 2003 in this example.

    Edit: The forum software removes extra spaces, so I'm not sure how to post a mini-table. Hopefully you can still get the general idea of what is going on. 3 columns with 2 rows of data for each region. I want to keep the 3 columns, but have the labels in column B be the column headers instead of row labels. Hope this makes sense.

    Try clicking and dragging the the grey "Data" box to the next column. It should automatically re-organize as you desired.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
