Hide/show PivotTable Field List with right click

To hide the PivotTable Field List just needs one step.

Right click at any cell of the pivot table, and select Hide Field List option from the context menu.

If you want to show the Field List again, right click at the pivot table, and select Show Field List.

For example, in the pivot table shown below, the sales are summarized by city and product. There are filter buttons on the Column heading, and on the Row Labels heading.

At the left of the date, there is an expand/collapse button showing.

Hide the Buttons

You can change the pivot table options to hide some of the buttons and captions in the pivot table.

Follow these steps to hide the buttons:

• Right-click a cell in the pivot table and, in the pop up menu, click PivotTable Options.
• Click the Display tab
• In the Display section, remove the check mark from Show Expand/Collapse Buttons.
  • This change will hide the Expand/Collapse buttons to the left of the outer Row Labels and Column Labels.

• Next, remove the check mark from Display Field Captions and Filter Drop Downs.
  • This change will hide the filter buttons, and the Row Labels and Column Labels captions.
• Click OK to close the PivotTable Options dialog box.

Pivot Table Buttons and Labels Hidden

Without the buttons and labels, the pivot table looks cleaner, and may be easier for your colleagues to read.

By default, all columns, rows, and their field values appear when you create a pivot table. You can hide columns and rows that you don't want to appear in the pivot table without changing the pivot table values. When you have more than one measure in the pivot table, you can also hide values.

At any time, you can choose to show any hidden fields in the pivot table. When you publish the visual as part of a dashboard, anyone who subscribes to the dashboard can export the pivot table to a comma-separated value (CSV) or Microsoft Excel file. They can choose to export only the visible fields, or all fields. For more information, see .
