NOTE For greater ease of use, you can move the PivotTable Field List pane to either side of the window. You can also undock the PivotTable Field List pane and resize it both vertically and horizontally to suit your needs. You can also right-click a field name and choose its location from the shortcut menu. In previous versions of Excel, you could also drag field names from the Field List directly onto the appropriate areas of the PivotTable report worksheet.
