Pivot table fields text color
I would like to know why the text color of the pivot table fields change to white and how do I change it back to black. It is very difficult to see.
Thanks.

This is a problem for our analysts. Dark Gray is great for their eyes, but they work in pivot tables ALOT and would prefer not to change their office theme just for Excel pivot tables. It almost seems like this was just an "oversight" in the development of the new theme. The other font is black and very readable. Microsoft - please roll out a fix!! For the sake of the sanity of our analysts. 😉
- KSmith_Copper ContributorI just checked today after doing updates, and dark gray is fixed back to a black font!

SergeiBaklan That Dark Gray looks nice. Ours has white font in the 4 quadrant dimensional panels under the field list. (I lost the screenshot - but it was identical to the one seen at the top of this topic.

- KSmith_Copper ContributorI did find a work around, I had my theme set to dark gray when the font suddenly change to white on gray in the fields, if you choose any other theme, there is a nice contrast. Not a total win since I prefer the dark gray but at least I can see my field now.
- Garth2039Copper ContributorThanks for the info. I will make the change you describe. Like you I prefer the dark grey theme but I would prefer to to be able to see the text.
- KSmith_Copper ContributorJust checked after doing updates and the dark gray theme has the black lettering back on the pivot tables now!! Woo hoo!

Looks like a bug. You may try to update Office.
