    Pivot table format

    Good afternoon!
    I am working with pivot tables for the first time in maybe 12 years. Trying to remember how to get the thing laid out correctly. I have gotten rows and columns close to what I want, it's totaling correctly, I've removed grand totals and formatted the pivot table. What I can't do is get the finished product to line up one 3 adjacent columns. What I want is to have Code, Description and Sum of Total Qty in adjacent columns without bollixing up the rest of it. Memories are short, and mine is shorter than most. I am sure I used to be able to do so but danged if I can remember how. The Google machine has not helped. Any help would be very much appreciated! I have attached the file in hopes that someone knows how to do this.
    Thanks very much,
    Bill

    Re: Pivot table format

    Well in those 12 years they came up with the new compact form as default layout.
    I think you want to revert back to Tabular from (the default 12 years ago)

    While anywhere in the pivot table go to Pivotable tools > Design > Report layout
    and pick the option "Show in tabular form"

    maybe this info can help you understand the "new" pivottable formats
