Default Pivot Tables - Field Error

There aren't too many rules for naming the fields, but every column
needs a heading. Maybe one of the columns has a blank heading cell. The
column could be hidden, or the pivot table range might include a blank
column to the left or right of the data table.

I'm getting the following error when trying to create a pivot table.

field".

The data is in a Excel Worksheet with a bunch of columns. Row 1 has a list
if headings. Are there specific rules for what these headings can be? Why
am I getting this error?
