In Excel 2010, PivotTable options, Display tab, there is an option "Show the Values row". Does anyone know what this option does?

Tried to google this option but only returned 3 results which does not explain this option.
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
When you have a pivot table, there is a row above the Value field headers that just says 'Values' (the red bit below). This option hides that.

Ok I get what you mean now. Just now I had only one field in the value area... and that "Values row" did not appear. I added another field to the value area to make it 2, and am now able to see the "Values row".

Appreciate your explaination :)
