    Where do the fields come from in a PivotTable Field list?

    Hello. I'm working with some data and pivottable. I'm looking at the fields and most of the fields I can identify, but there are a few that I don't know where on earth they come from. Is there a way I can click on the field and find it's cell reference. Obrigado.

    It's a pretty basic question....Not really a need for a spreadsheet. I'll repeat it: When you have fields in a pivottable where can you find the source for the specific fields (not just the source for the entire pivottable).

    Right click -- Show field list

    Fields are just the column headings based on the range of your pivot table

    If you have a field in the list that you cannot find in the source data, it is a Calculated Field. If you select Options in the PivotTable Tools group, then click 'Fields, Items and Sets' and List Formulas, you will get a new sheet with a list of the Calculated Fields (and Items).
