I am having issues grouping dates by month in the attached example. The date field is formatted as text. When I attempt to group in the pivot table, I am not given the grouping dialog box. I can't figure out why.
View 8 RepliesI have a large spreadsheet which lists individual dates over two years and circulation figures next to each date. Sometimes there are two entries for a particular date e.g. 1/10/08 there were 150 readers of magazine A and 200 readers of magazine B. When displaying this on a graph it give a bar for each day, whereas I would like a bar for each week.
Is there a formula to convert the individual dates into weeks and then total the circulation figures for that week?
Column A = Dates
Column B = Circulation Figures

I pull this data from an Oracle POWER PIVOT and always have trouble grouping the dates when they come from Power Pivot. Currently working as analyst so figuring this out would make life so much easier as I could group by months etc.

I'm trying to create a pivot table to figure out categories of expenses over the last year. The problem is when i create this pivot table on the horizontal i see all the days of the year, as opposed to categorized by month. I've tried to 'group' the months together but not very successfully. HOW to do this grouping elegantly?
I've attached 2 screenshots.
Pic 1 - Original State of the table with all the days on the horizontal
Pic 2 - an attempt to group by month, gone wrong

i have a pivot table but I'm just not sure how to create these groupings. Is a pivot the right way to do it - or should I be doing something else with the source data.
I've created a pivot table that is not grouping "like" items. I have verified all fields are numbers using the =isnumber() formula. All items present with the "true" value. Just in case, I tried doing text to columns and refreshing the data but that did not work either. All items are formatted the same. All data fields have values.

I had a workbook in Excel 2003 that i just moved to 2010. In the 2003 file I had 2 pivot tables, one each on a worksheet, looking at the same data, just grouped differently. One yearly, one quarterly.
Now in the 2010 workbook whenever I change the grouping on pivot table, the other one changes also. It's like they are linked together or something.
I have recently noticed a problem with a pivot table and assoicated pivot chart. The table has numerous columns from date, location and one entitled route. The route column has a value which is either a number or 'other'. The formatting of the column has been set to general (although the same problem was present under text). The problem is as follows:
When a new row of data is entered where the route is the same value as previous rows it should be grouped together. However when I go into my pivot table and look at the options for route I find the same value repeated twice. ie a route value of 155 will be listed once at the top and then lower down the list. A temporary fix is to rename all values of 155 to x155 and then back to 155. This then has everything grouped again under one value in the pivot table. As soon as new entries are added though the problem repeats itself. Does anyone know why this might be?

I have been using pivot tables with great success to summarize my data according to categories, payment methods, etc. But now that I want to track monthly spending for each category, it is not working out. Grouping the date fields doesn't work for me for the following reasons:
1. After grouping, the pivot table treats Jan as the oldest month for sorting purposes even though it isn't so in my data set.
2. Based on #1, I believe that the pivot table’s monthly grouping works like the month() function, which returns the month without the year attached. This will not work for my data, which will likely span more than a year eventually.
3. When I choose to group the date fields in one pivot table, they also get grouped in other tables where such grouping is undesirable.
Can I use sumif() or sumproduct() in conjunction with a pivot table or some other way to tabulate my monthly totals?
I am looking for some assistance to make pivot tables with multiple data values against a control item. A sample excel file is attached herein with. I am quite new to pivot tables was unable to find out a solution self.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt's a given that formatting doesn't alter underlying values in all areas of Excel, merely changing the way cells look. But in the attached I show two pivot tables using exactly the same data with the sole exception that the first one has the date numbers formatted as numbers whereas the 2nd PT has the date numbers formatted as dates.
With the 2nd PT it will accept the Group by month functionality whereas the 1st PT won't.
On the face of it PTs seem to take more notice of the way a number is formatted when it comes to grouping rather than treating the number as a date which it can group.
Using Excel 2007 I have a pivot table that counts that number of incidents based on month and year. To get the month and year I group the date field as months and years.
My problem is if I want to filter specfic months in say year 2012 it also takes out the month in 2013. I though it used to give you the option of year and date in the filter but mines are 2 seperate filters.
Have a simple Pivot table that i have grouped in 14 day buckets.
Currently, the date range looks like this:
1/21/2013 - 2/3/2013
However, I want the range to show the 'last' date only.
Is there a simple way to do this? I just can not see it in the format cells menu...
I have a pivot table with the following items;
Report Filter = Project Names & Dates (filtered on 2 fields)
then the pivot table of data shows
Dept, Sum of Hours, Sum of Total ($), Sum of Days
When you click on the drop down to adjust the filter for the Date it gives you the whole list of dates, day by day as it is in the source data.
Is there a way to make it in the filter by month and year, the way it would in an ordinary filter. So if I wanted to have the pivot table show only the values with an October date I can, rather than having to deselect all and then individually check the boxes for the 1st through to the 31st of October.?
I'm using Excel 2007 and am having an issue with grouping/ungrouping fields in pivot tables.
I have 2 separate pivot tables, both from the same named data source, but summarizing different data selections. Both tables include the date field, I am trying to produce both a daily and a monthly table, but whenever I change the grouping/ungrouping of the date field setting on one table, the other table changes to the same grouping.
Is there anyway to have one table with an ungrouped date field and one table with the grouped to month date field?
there are a multitude of issues with US date formats when you're not in the US but I've run across one that I can't figure out.
I have a source table that has approx 5000 lines on it, everything looks correct and all the dates are in the correct (Australian) format. However when I use it to make a pivot table, any dates that are before the 12/m/yyyy gets changed to the mmddyyyy format in the pivot table only, all the source dates are still correct.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a checkbook register set up in Excel, and I really like it. I thought it would be good to set up a pivot table to organize all of the entries into an expense report. I have done this for over a year now, and I love everything about it, but here is the problem:
Now that I am getting so many entries, I thought it would be a good feature to limit the pivot table to a date range. I created 2 entry cells at the top of the pivot table to put a start and end date. I would like the pivot table to compare the entries in the register to the dates, and only include the entries between those dates. How do I do this?
