I'm having a little bit of hardtime getting the data correctly put into their respective fields. Can I get some help as to how to do it step by step. It is for Case Study Summarizing Next Year's Forecast. I can't get the Revenue Last Year and Forecast Next Year to line up with the data.

Help with Pg. 106-110 of Pivot TableData Crunching
I need help aligned the data up. I know how to put Region and Market in their correct spots. I am unable to correctly place Revenue Last Year and Forecast Next Year. When I place them insteadof going up and down, they go across left to right. I need the Revene and Forecast to line up with Region and Market. This is on page 106-110 Case study starting from 6.11. Need some help thanks!

If you start with the downloaded dataset, follow these steps:
1) Choose one cell in the data set.
2) From the menu, select Data - Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Report
3) Click Finish.
4) In the Pivot Table Field List, click Region. Click Add to Row Area.
5) In the Pivot Table Field List, click Market. Click Add to Row Area.
6) In the Pivot Table Field List, click Revenue Last Year. Change the dropdown in the field list from Row Area to Data Area. Click Add To.
7) In the Pivot Table Field List, click Forecast Next Year. Click Add to Data Area.
8) This is the tricky part. You will now have a button in C3 called "Data". Click on this button and drag to the word Total in D3. This will move the data fields so that they are side by side in the column.
I suspect step 8 was the one causing problems. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks for buying the book!
