example: cell a1 = "test"; a2 to a4 = 1, 2, 3. Creation of a pivot table with selection a1 to a4 is started but cancelled before completion (using the cancel button). The name in cell a1 is changed to "test2" and with the same selection the pivot table creation is started again. However in the field box "test" is still present. When the pivot table is created it is necessary to refresh and then edit the pivot table to be able to get the "test2" field. So it seems that cancelling creation of a pivot table doesn't clear the field names assigned to a particular range. This can result in some confusion and a bit more mouse work for the user.
