They are called 'fields'. For example, the primary key is always a field in the table. If you're looking at a database table in datasheet view (so that it looks like Excel) then each column is a 'field' and each row is a "record". Therefore a field called "Date of Birth" would be part of a record stating all specific "Employee Details" etc.

The name of each column in a data source would depend on what items one was tracking. In an inventory data source, you might have columns for the date an ite was acquired, the date it was sold, the part or item number, the quantity sold, ad the price per unit.

What are Column Labels in the areas of a Pivot Table?

Each pivot table is different, so it depends on how you have it laid out and what data is in it. Pivot tables are very flexible, so you can switch around the data and column headings could become row headings and the data can change. Column headings will indicate what the data in a particular column in the pivot table is.
