Change color in pivot table header area

[#1]

Hello,

I have difficult time changing the color of the top left area in pivot table. Please see screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/gPtgN4Ygpgla

It seems that "Custom Format cell" doesn't work here, please see screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/riTrrsyar

I also tried using different styles but that didn't help either.

Does anyone have an idea how to change color or maybe make transparent that gray area?

Thanks!

Set the Cell Background Color Transparency to 100%

Tried that but only made transparent rest of columns but not the one I needed. Although I did select this particular column.

This also doesn't help as it makes all table cells transparent whereas I need to color the columns in the table

Put a text box on top of the left corner of the pivot table. Resize it so it fits, give it any color you like and make sure it is in a higher layer than the pivot table.

That's a nice workaround, thanks!
