Default Make pivot table with multiple "data" fields in columns not rows?

I am trying to summarize several calculations using a pivot table. When I
dump the information I want to summarize in the "data" section of the pivot
table, I can't get it to line up in columns. I have only been successful in
getting it in rows. Is it possible to have multiple "data" items but
summarize it in columns and not rows?

Example
Column information Data information Data Information Data
information
Item A Sum of Inventory Sum of Goods Sold Sum of On
Order

Thanks!

cdomby,

You can usually drag the group headings from the left column to someplace
across the top, and that group will be summarized in a column instead of a
row. This is why they call it a pivot table. Really.
