Introduction
Create a list of the pivot fields in a pivot table, with information about each field, such as the caption, layout location, and position. Use these Excel macros to make the list, then add your comments in the Notes column, if necessary, to document what each field contains.
For OLAP-based pivot tables, the list will show bracketed source names and sample items.
Create List of Pivot Table Fields
The following code adds a new sheet, named "Pivot_Fields_List", to the workbook. Then it creates a list of all the pivot fields in the first pivot table on the active sheet.
- NOTE: If there is an existing sheet with that name, it is deleted. If you want to keep previous lists, rename the sheets before running the macro again.
The list includes the pivot field's caption, source name, layout location (orientation), position in that location, sample data from the field, and a formula (for calculated fields). The Notes column is blank, and you can add comments there, about each field.
Because of a problem with the Orientation method, all the data fields are identified as "Hidden". Additional code checks the "Hidden" fields, to see if they are in the DataFields.

The following code adds a new sheet, named "Pivot_FieldLoc_List", to the workbook. Then it creates a list of all the pivot fields in the first pivot table on the active sheet.
- NOTE: If there is an existing sheet with that name, it is deleted. If you want to keep previous lists, rename the sheets before running the macro again.
The list is organized by location type, and includes the pivot field's caption, source name, location (orientation), position at that location, sample data from the field, and a formula (calculated fields). The Notes column is blank, and you can add comments there, about each field.
The Value fields are listed as "Data", but no sample data or formulas are shown for those fields.

The following macro adds a new sheet to the active workbook. On that sheet, it creates a list of all the pivot fields, in all the pivot tables, on all sheets, in the active workbook.
The fields for each pivot table are listed by location type (row, column, filter or value), and by their position within that location.
Each row in the list includes the sheet name, pivot table name, pivot table address, pivot field's caption, field heading cell location, source name, location (orientation), position at that location, sample data* from the field, formula (calculated fields), and OLAP-based (True or False).
*Sample data and formulas are NOT shown for value fields, or OLAP-based pivot tables (e.g. Data Model).
NOTE: Hidden fields are not included in this list.
