Pivot table - text in values area

From the research I've done, it seems that pivot tables do not support text in the values area, period. **** this is frustrating! :eek:
Quite a bit of work has gone into aggregating this data, and it's so close, but the text fields are showing 0.

Have a look. Double-clicking on cell C5 (sheet 1) drills down into the individual record. Cell E2 (sheet 4) contains the text value I need--"Not Stated".
Is there any quick workaround to get this text value to showup in cell C5 of the pivot table?

Thanks for any input.

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
I don't believe so - you would need to add these fields as Row fields to you pivot table so they show up as the record's text values.

The source data has the field header names in column C, with the corresponding text data in another column (columns E and F).

I guess that's what is making it tricky...

Seems that the only way to accomplish this task is for the field names (repeating in Column C below) to be transposed to columns with data underneath in rows.
Feedback?
