Description techxgames 2020-03-04 04:35:03 UTC
Description:
Creating a basic table with heading is really complicated and annoying, IMO.  Yes, I can use Pivot Table, but I can't change the heading name once it's set. 

Please fix and improve it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert
2. Pivot Table

Actual Results:
Empty sheet will create a table, but renaming the header is either impossible or complicated.

Expected Results:
Spreadsheet should show basic table at the very least


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I tried it and I am able to change the heading of a pivot table just fine. However, because I know next to nothing about pivot tables, it might be that I am doing it in a way that is not what you mean. Therefore, you should explain

1) what is a pivot table heading exactly (the exact steps to create it starting even before Insert - Pivot Table)
2) how are you trying to change it and how is it refusing to change

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
