elucidating grouped headings in pivot table

Hi - my pivot table groups rows like this (i.e. only showing the name Jones
for one of the two rows for this name):

Name City
Smith London
Jones Edinburgh
(blank)
Clarke Paris

I'd like the names column to be more explicit, i.e. what I'd like to see (to
be able to use Excel's database/list functions) is:

Name City
Smith London
Jones Edinburgh
Jones (blank)
Clarke Paris

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Pivot tables don't work like that.

You could convert the pivottable to values
(select the cells|copy|paste special|values)

And use the techniques shown at Debra Dalgleish's site to fill the cells.
