Pivot Table page fields

[Chad W.]

I have a problem that has been frustrating me for a while. I have
built a number of workbooks that use Pivot Tables with an Analysis
Server data source. When I drag a field from the page area to the row
area in the Pivot Table, I occassionally get the wrong field. If I
drag Location Type to the pivot table, location is added. If I drag
financial class, insurance appears. The interesting (and infuriating)
thing in this case is that Insurance was NOT in the page area. It is
an available field in the data source, but had not been added to the
workbook.


Has anyone else had this occur and how did you resolve it? Can anyone
explain how Excel associates a page field label with the OLAP data
source?

You might check your data labels in the header row- cross check that with the
data the pivot table is referencing-- basically recreate the table... hope
that helps?
