Pivot experts,

I prepared a pivot table with several different summing data fields. If I view(filter) the pivot table with less than all the data fields, the unviewed fields drop off the table. I then need to rebuilt the table. Yet I can filter the column or row items, view the table, then select another filter for a different view. Am I missing something? Is there a setting that needs to be activated? I thought pivot tables were interactive--put all the data up, look at it one way, then look at it another.

Thanks for clarification.
