Error "invalid data source reference" for pivot table

[Manny]

I am attempting to create a pivot table (which I've done in the past) but I
get an error stating that the "data source reference is not valid." The excel
data was created from out internal software in Comma-Seperated Values (CSV)
format. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Try pasting it into a new workbook.

That didn't work. Anything else I should try? All columns do have headings.

Check that the source range doesn't include extra columns at the right
or left.

There are no extra columns in the source range.

What version of Excel are you using?
In Excel 2003, can you create a list from the data (Data>List)?
In Excel 2007, insert an Excel table.

Then, try to create a pivot table based on the List or Table.
