    combining fields on a pivot table

    Sorry if this has already been asked.

    I have created a pivot table and I would like to combine multiple
    fields into a single one.
    Here is the dilemma I am having. My data looks like this:

    Plant Geozone PH4 CPU Mix Prod Mix Volume
    1918 234 2324 42.50 12 25
    1918 354 1234 43.50 15 45
    1918 346 3234 50 20
    55


    I would like to be able to format this data so that instead of showing
    the categories separately, there is a way to show it in this format.
    For example, suppose I want the highest values regardless of which
    category they are from. The first value would cleary be:
    Plant Geozone PH4 Volume
    1918 346 1234 55

    However, at this point I would like the second value to somehow show
    Plant Geozone PH4 CPU Mix
    1918 346 3234 50

    Can this be done, and if so, what must I do to achieve this format?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

    Hi

    Can you not double click on your Data field and choose
    Advanced>sort>ascending and choose PH4 as the sort field?

    Re: combining fields on a pivot table

    Hi,
    I have another query related to Pivot table.
    I have created a pivot table using a range of data. The column labels are plate-1, plate-2, coil and wire-rods and the row labels are exports and imports. So I have a 4X2 table with the quantities filling the table.

    What I want to do is to combine the columns plate-1 and plate-2 data, and make the 4X2 table into 3X2 table.
    One way is to make the changes in the original data and rename both plate-1 and plate-2 as say, "plate". But i dont want to make changes to the original data. Is there any alternate way to do so?? by making some adjustment in the pivot table itself??
