Pivot Table Wizard in Excel 2007

Hi

Whilst Nick and Ed have given you two methods to bring up the old
wizard, IMHO the new method as indicated my Mike is much easier to use
than the old method.

The field list is clearly visible in a pane, as are the four areas of
Row, Column, Page and Data and it is easier to create your required
layout without having to go back to the wizard>layout each time you want
to make a change.

The only occasion that I have found it necessary to invoke the old
wizard, is if Multiple Consolidation ranges are required, as I have not
yet found a method within XL2007 for achieving this.

Perhaps once you've figured out how to use it. But in the short run
the OP may find the old wizard faster to use.

Harlan, you may well be right.

However, (again IMO) apart from the fact that MS have renamed Page area
to Report Filter, allocating things to the PT report is much the same.
One major advantage though, is you can see the effect upon your PT as
you move fields between Row, Column and Report filter area on screen
without having to go back through the wizard to Layout, make your
changes and Finish, before you see the effect on the PT itself.
