Pivot table displays only month of full date - can't display year.

Hi.  I have created a pivot table from a data set.  One of the fields in the data set is a date field (and I've checked, Excel is recognising it as a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy).  However, when I add this field to the rows of my pivot table, it only displays the month in text format (ie, "Feb"), and then creates a separate column with the year.  I'm trying to get it to display the full date in the pivot table in a single column, not split.

 

Please help?

    Catherine,

     

    right-click on a month or date and select "Ungroup".
