Select data in a PivotTable report

When you apply formatting or change calculated item formulas in a PivotTable report, you can select either individual cells or sections of the report. Changes you make to sections apply to the elements in the report, and remain in effect when you change the layout or view.

To select cells, use the regular Microsoft Excel selection pointer Excel selection cursor. To select sections of the report, position the mouse pointer at the tops or left sides of field buttons and item labels so that it changes to Down arrow or Right arrow . If you don't see the pointer change shape, click PivotTable on the PivotTable toolbar, point to Select, and make sure Enable Selection Button image is turned on.
