Hi there, can you guys please help me? I looked everywhere for 2 days already and cant find the answer. I dont realy know how to explain it but i also attached some screenshots, so please bare with me...

I created a pivot table where one of the column says "coverage." When I clicked on the scroll down menu (arrow button), it showed my information (countries) duplicated. I want each country separately. I tried separately them in the data sheet by colons, commas, semi colons, but nothing seem to work! I am going crazy! Do I need to do something else? Or excel only recognize each cell as one? How can I change this?

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
I think you'll find that "Belguim" is spelt differently to "Belgium" and this would almost certainly generated a duplicate. Unlike us humans - computers are pretty dense at times.

Oh thank you! I corrected it, but the same problem still occurs! Belgium is not the only one, for example, Netherlands
