Context Menu "Custom Format Cell" does not appear

Hi at all,

i can't understand why the "Custom Format Cell" in the Context Menu of a Pivot Table does not appear.

I have selected "Advanced" in Document Settings but with no result!

Anyone know why there is this behavior?

Thanks in advance

Antonello

Hi Antonello,

It's a litle bit late and you are certainly already find the solution, but for the others.

To have the "Custom Format Cell" in the Context Menu of a Pivot Table, you need to go to the menu "View" and active "Design Grid".

Best regards,

Hi

The menu item doesn't seem to appear if you right-click the table caption, you must right-click inside the table.
Maybe that's your problem...
