<p data-ddue="para">When you use a worksheet as the basis for a PivotTable, the data should be in a list or table format with descriptive column names in the first row.

Excel uses your column names as field names in PivotTables. Using the PivotTable Builder, you can drag these fields into the row, column and report filter areas of the PivotTable.</p>
