The Pivot Options dialog box provides many ways to customize the pivot table. To access this dialog box, click the Pivot Options button 
. The Analyzer displays the following:
-
Format the pivot table with zebra stripes. If you select Zebra Striping, the table is formatted with rows in alternating colors as follows:
-
Remove the captions for the rows. To do so, clear Row Caption.
-
Specify which listing to use for this pivot table. To do so, select a listing from the Listing drop-down menu.
-
Specify the maximum number of records to include in listings for this pivot table. To do so, specify a value for Maximum Listing Rows. The default is 1000.
-
Apply custom colors and font styles. To do so, use the drop-downs in Row Options, Column Options, or Cell Options. For example:
This style definition specifies that the font is in 12 pt, blue Verdana on a pale green background. The text is also bold and center-aligned.
If you specify a custom color for the cell background in Cell Options, the system ignores the Zebra Striping option.
-
Use the Span Labels options to control whether labels are spanned.
When you display the table in a nested format, the labels are spanned by default. For example:
You can instead repeat the relevant labels, as follows:
-
Use the Show Empty options to control whether empty rows and columns are displayed.
-
Control the size of the data cells. To do so, type the width in pixels into Width and the height in pixels into Height.
