I have a worksheet that I have converted to a table. My question is, once that I have made it a table, the column headers are in row 2. When I go to create a Pivot table, the "Pivot Table Field List" shows up with the column Numbers, and not the column headers field list. Any suggestions for correcting this problem, would be appreciated.

before you start making your pivot table, highlight your data (with column headers) so it won't try to pick it by itself.
