I've created a pivot table using several fields via the automated field list. Now when I want to amend pivot table with an additional field (which is already listed) I receive the following eror message:

Cannot change part of a merged cell

How can I identify these "merged cells" and correct in order to add an aditional field to the pivot table?


Thanks to all in advance!!
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Do you have a need for the merged cells? Are they supposed to be in there?

If not, I would just highlight the entire sheet, then under the Home tab on the ribbon, there should be a button for toggling on/off Merge & Center. Toggle it off for everything.
