Default Pivot Table - too many rows/columns error

Friends,

The data I am accessing for my pivot table would comprise only 500 rows if
Excel would let me put the 5 rows into the Row area, but I get the following
error message:

"Microsoft Excel cannot make this change because there are too many row or
column items. Drag at least one row or column field off the Pivot Table, or
to the page position. Alternatively, right click a field, and then click Hide
or Hide Levels on the shortcut menu."

Why is Excel giving this error when I am no where near the row or column
limit of Excel?

Thanks so much for your help ...
