Default Pivot Tables - Field Error

I'm getting the following error when trying to create a pivot table.
"The PivotTable name is not valid. To create a PivotTable report, you must
use data that is organised as a list with labeled columns. If you are
changing the name of a PivotTable field, you must type a new name for the
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?

Help ....

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.
