Pivot tables 2 row labels

[sdav]

I am trying to create a pivot table and want to have sales rep names and
company as the rows. Is there a way to have the sales rep name repeat
everytime with the company instead of how it looks below? I am going to have
to use the output of the sheet to do a vlookup on another sheet and in this
format I can't make it work. Thanks!

Row Labels
Jane Doe
Company 1
John Doe
Company 2
Company 1
Company 3
Company 5

Nope--not if you want to keep it a pivottable.

But you could convert to values (or copy|paste values in a different location),
then fill the blank cells with the value of the cell above it.

Debra Dalgleish's site has some tips:

I don't want to keep it as a pivot table. It is a large spreadsheet so I was
trying to move everything manually.

The site you shared with the copying is great. I will use that info once I
get the data into 2 separate columns.

I can't find the video on the site you shared anymore. I was going to follow
the written instructions, but don't know where to find edit.

The Edit is an option on the worksheet menubar in xl2003 and earlier.

If you're using xl2007 (or any version of excel!), you can hit: F5 or ctrl-g
to get to that dialog.
