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".

Best and simplest solution ever. I have wrestled with this for a while and wondered why Microsoft would change the previous default format displays. Seems so counter intuitive.
