How to add multiple fields into pivot table?

When we create a pivot table, we need to drag the fields into the Row Labels or Values manually one by one. If we have a long list of fields, we can add a few row labels quickly, but the remaining fields should be added to the Value area. Are there any quick methods for us to add all the other fields into the Value area with one click in the pivot table?

    Does "xlDataField" not work with PowerPivot? I've got the code below, which is used to add all measures to the pivot table. It works with "xlColumnField" and "xlRowField". Any ideas how to make this work?

    Sub AddAllFieldsValues()
    Dim pt As PivotTable
    Dim iCol As Long
    Dim iColEnd As Long

    Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)

    With pt

    iCol = 1
    iColEnd = .CubeFields.Count

    For iCol = 1 To iColEnd
    With .CubeFields(iCol)
    If .Orientation = xlHidden Then
    .Orientation = xlDataField
    End If
    End With
    Next iCol

    End With

    End Sub

    Is there a way to run this only for excluded fields, so that when I run it I do not end up with duplicate fields? ie. "Field" and "Field_2"

      [quote name="Shaun"]Is there a way to run this only for excluded fields, so that when I run it I do not end up with duplicate fields? ie. "Field" and "Field_2"[/quote]

      Yes- two examples

      Use this to add all remaining unchecked items to ROWS

      Sub AddAllFieldsRow()
      Dim pt As PivotTable
      Dim iCol As Long
      Dim iColEnd As Long

      Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)

      With pt

      iCol = 1
      iColEnd = .PivotFields.Count

      For iCol = 1 To iColEnd
      With .PivotFields(iCol)
      If .Orientation = 0 Then
      .Orientation = xlRowField
      End If
      End With
      Next iCol

      End With

      End Sub

      Use this to add a remaining unchecked items to VALUES

      Sub AddAllFieldsValues()
      Dim pt As PivotTable
      Dim iCol As Long
      Dim iColEnd As Long

      Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)

      With pt

      iCol = 1
      iColEnd = .PivotFields.Count

      For iCol = 1 To iColEnd
      With .PivotFields(iCol)
      If .Orientation = 0 Then
      .Orientation = xlDataField
      End If
      End With
      Next iCol

      End With

      End Sub

        Yeah, to echo markus, is there a way to edit the code to only add unchecked fields that have certainly field labels (like with an if contains function)? For example, I have a question that is actually 50 yes/no values by topic and I'd like to move all of those to the values field. They all begin with the same question label q9_[specific question topic].

        Is there a way to only add some ekstra fields, not the remaining or all of them, but just a pair of those who is not checked already? :)

    This is fantastic. Can the macro be modified to add all to Row Labels instead of Values?

    Wow. It works very very well. Many thanks!
    Nonetheless, I am kinda amazed that Microsoft were not having a built-in feature for a rather simple task...

    Really nice and useful macro. However I had already added half of my fields into the Values and when I ran this macro it added all the same fields again. Any idea why?
