How do I exclude data from a range or table when creating Pivot Tables?

I am new to the excel community, so I hope I'm able to explain what I'm trying to do. I have a grid of information, and I'm trying to pull specific info from this grid to a pivot table, so when I double click on the cell with data in the pivot table, it'll show me the information from that specific item in the grid. For example, I have 6 columns on worksheet 1 which my pivot table is pulling the data from. Column C shows the date the order needs to be delivered by. Columns A, D and F are also columns with data I want to include when choosing the range of data to analyze, but I can't seem to exclude columns B and E without deleting them. I want only A, C, D and F to show when I double click the cell in the Pivot Table. I've tried choosing only the columns wanted with a comma between each when choosing the Pivot Table data source, but it says Data source reference is not valid. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    1. Remove th columns in raw data and create a poivit table. Then after double clicking the value, it will show ACDF directly.
    2. Use CHOOSECOLS function - Microsoft Support to get the result from your previous result from povit table.

    =CHOOSECOLS(Your range of data from povit table,1,3,4,6)
