I can't seem to change my pivot table header name. What I usually do to do that is:
1. Click within the Pivot Table
2. Go to Analyze>Active Field Box>Change the name and;
3. Press Enter
I also tried:
1. Click within the column where I want the header to be changed.
2. Right click>Value Field Settings>Edit the name under Custom Name field.
Sadly, both methods did not work. Prior to doing the steps above, I just simply changed the value field from "Count" to "Sum".
What I want to do is change the column header "Sum of Jan-16" to just "Jan-16".
Note: I am using MS Excel 2016
