Horizontal Pivot Table

Hello,
I'd like to use a pivot table to summarize multiple dates worth of info, but it seems I can only list data vertically under each row field.

For instance, here's what I'd like to see:

Avg Avg Avg
Employee # Sales # Calls # Appts
123 45 123 10
345 34 23 13

Where the Avg is the average value over the course of 4 days worth of data.

Here's what I get:

Employee
123 Avg # Sales 45
Avg # Calls 123
Avg # Appts 10

345 Avg # Sales 34
Avg # Calls 23
Avg # Appts 13

How can I list my values across instead of as a horizontal list. Any time I try to add column headers, I get a ridiculously long pivot table with lots of entries across. Please help!
Thanks,
mar4JC

Thanks for the tip. I tried that but did not receive the Move to Column option. The only options I get are: move down or move to end, which changes the order in the vertical list.

Any other thoughts?
Thanks!

I can't tell from you original posting how your PivotTable is configured. I made my best guess, but it must not be like yours. It would be best if you used HtmlMaker to post an image of the worksheet that contains your PivotTable.

Hello,
I've pasted a sample pivot table here:
Book1
ABCD
3EmployeeDataTotal
47844Average of Appt0
5Average of Sales1.25
6Average of Calls1.25
714053Average of Appt0
8Average of Sales0.25
9Average of Calls0.25
1015703Average of Appt0
11Average of Sales0
12Average of Calls0
1321398Average of Appt0
14Average of Sales0
15Average of Calls0
1621571Average of Appt0
17Average of Sales0
18Average of Calls0
1921823Average of Appt0
20Average of Sales0
21Average of Calls0
2221956Average of Appt0
23Average of Sales0.25
24Average of Calls0.25
...



I'm trying to get the data to display horizontally instead of vertically, while leaving the employee info on the left side. I've tried to change the order, but the options are "grayed out", so I can't chose the options you have suggested.
Thanks,

Thanks Mark!
Dragging the "Data" Field over to the Totals column worked like a charm!

Thanks again!
