Add and arrange pivot table data in Numbers on iPhone
To choose the data you want to show in your pivot table, you can add fields into three sections: Columns, Rows and Values. By default, numeric fields are added to Values and other non-numeric fields are added to Columns or Rows. You can move fields within a section or between sections, to change the way data is organised in the pivot table.

The field appears in either the Columns, Rows or Values section, based on the type of data in that field.
