thanks for the reply, yes, I need to keep it as a pivot table.
Then you are out of luck unless you have Excel 2010, I'm afraid. The only alternative I can think of would be to copy the pivot table to another location and fill in the blanks there.
thanks, I will leave this open for a little while, and also try the manual approach.
It would be possible to automate the copying to another sheet for example if that would work?
no need, I really like your proposed manual approach.
It can be done by formula but they would be in a separate table.

Assume Pivot Table is in area A3:E20

In G3 put formula:

=IF(A3="",G2,A3)

Copy down and across to cover same size area as the Pivot Table

This is basically saying if the Field Name cell in the pivot is blank use the same as above, otherwise its a new field.
