The Ribbon is at the top of the Excel window, where you should see the
tab names, e.g. Window, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, etc.
Sometimes, additional tabs are visible. For example if you select a cell
inside a pivot table, you should see two new tabs -- Options and Design.
Above those tabs is the heading, PivotTable Tools.
It sounds like you right-clicked on a cell in the pivot table.
In the Field Settings dialog box, select 'Show item labels in tabular
form', and the first part desc will be on the same row as the part number.
That setting is the same as selecting 'Show in Tabular Form' on the Ribbon.
