Pivot Tables in 2007 - How to Stack Values vs. Displaying Side by Side

Thanks to Rachelle for helping me figure this one out.  In Excel 2007, pivot tables have a lot of new options, but some of the old functions seem to be missing.

For example, In the below table …  I wanted to change the format so that the MRR and Term Values are stacked in the Pivot Table vs. being displayed side by side.  In 2003, you could accomplish this by dragging and dropping the titles. In 2007, dragging and dropping fields no longer works.

In Excel 2007 right click “Values” >select “Move Values to”>select “Move Values to Rows”

Your values will now be stacked like this:

Another option is to use the Field List and drag the values from Columns to Rows:

  1. Sometimes I miss the the old pivot table layout and functionality but not to worry. With the pivot table selected, you can click on Options, then the Display Tab and check the Classic PivotTable layout box. This brings back the old drag and drop functionality we know and love.
