Footnote marker

Footnote Marker changes the characters that can be used to mark a footnote. By default, standard footnote markers are sequential letters or numbers, depending on the table properties settings. You can also assign a special marker. Special markers are not affected when you renumber footnotes or switch between numbers and letters for standard markers. The display of numbers or letters for standard markers and the subscript or superscript position of footnote markers are controlled by the Footnotes tab of the Table Properties dialog.

Note: For changing footnote markers in legacy tables, see Editing footnotes in legacy tables.

To change footnote markers:

1. Activate the pivot table.
2. Select a footnote.
3. From the Format menu, choose Footnote Marker.

Special markers are limited to 2 characters. Footnotes with special markers precede footnotes with sequential letters or numbers in the footnote area of the table; so changing to a special marker can reorder the footnote list.
