Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhanced pivot table creation and interaction. In an implementation, a view including a formula bar is rendered in a user interface to a spreadsheet application. In response to receiving a user initialization input, the view is rendered to hide the formula bar and display a configuration bar configured to receive at least one pivot table parameter. A pivot table is generated based on the at least one pivot table parameter. The view is rendered to display the formula bar after generation of the pivot table.
