    "The range you picked can't be used as a data source. To create a PivotTable, you need to

    Dear all,

    When I am doing data excel and try to use "Recommended PivotTable" there is an error "The range you picked can't be used as a data source. To create a PivotTable, you need to use a range that is organized as list with labeled columns". I try to goggle the solution but still did not make it.

    On the screenshot we cannot see the top row of selected area, but probably there is no labels (unique names of columns) in all cells of this row.

    In ALL columns - also these where is no data present. It can be any word like on my screenshot, but has to be present (an has to be unique, so if you have more empty columns you couild use emty1; empty2; empty 3; and so on
