problem with pivot table with multiple data disappearing

[tdk2999]

Hi, I am new to pivot table. I created a pivot table with the
"customer ID" as my row field, and "date of the month" as my column
field. Then I selected two fields as my data. One field is the
category of the things the customer bought and the other field is the
price associated with the item bought. Then in the data drop down I
can see these two fields. However, whenever I deselect one field, the
selection drop down disappears, my table then has only one data
dispalyed and I can't see the other field unless I add that field back
in. Is there a way to keep the selectiond drop down there, so I can
pick to see what I didn't select to see before? Thanks in advance.

When you uncheck an item in the Data dropdown, that field is removed
from the pivot table layout. To see it again, you can drag the field
back from the pivot field list.

There's no setting where you can change this behaviour.
