1) Pivot functions, calculated pivot fields and pivot charts are not 
implemented as they used to be implemented in Excel 8 (1997).
2) You can not edit the pivot labels.
3) All pivot cell formats are bound to auto-generated cell styles except 
for the number formats which are taken from the source data.

You've got to use MS Excel or find your own work-arounds. For calculated 
fields I use to use pivots from databases or database queries instead of 
pivots.
