Thank you, that helped immensely.
I didn't even realize those options existed (never saw them in any of the training materials, blogs, documentation I have reviewed).
Good news is that those options tipped me off to other formatting opportunities.
(Also, I really liked how you could drag / drop right inside the classic layout, seems more intuitive than having to use the fields pane on the far right hand side of the screen).
Thanks!
Now:
Is there ANYWAY to pull together different tables of data with OUT placing a metric (or I guess Microsoft calls them measures) on the pivot table?
