  • Report Filter − You can set the filter for the report as year, then data gets filtered as per the year.

  • Row labels − A field that has a row orientation in the pivot table. Each item in the field occupies a row.

  • Values area − The cells in a pivot table that contain the summary data. Excel offers several ways to summarize the data (sum, average, count, and so on).
