How to Manipulate Data in an Excel 2007 Pivot Table

1. Open Excel 2007 and select a workbook containing data. Click the 'Office' button and select 'Open.' Browse your files and select the workbook. Click the 'Open' button to open the workbook.
2. Highlight the data you want included in the PivotTable. Select 'Insert' on the menu bar, and then select 'PivotTable.' A drop-down menu appears. Select 'PivotTable' again. Click 'OK.'
3. Add fields to the PivotTable by checking fields from the right 'PivotTable Field List.' By default, the fields appear in the column section. Manually drag the fields to any of these sections (row, totals or filter) to see how manipulating them changes your pivot table.
