Pivot Tables!!!!!

Copper Contributor

 Finally discovering the world of Pivot Tables and it is Amazing! Feel like I might never need to use formulas again.

 

Having some trouble grouping the dates in my pivot table I created for transactions over the last 12 months.

 

Any help will be appreciated!

 

Cheers

Can you share an example of your problem?

@jacovdl  Without an example, my first thought is date formatting; make sure the data column is properly formatted as date (Data, Text to Columns) & the date format (format cells) is correct.

Thanks, please see attached

Select column B, Data->Text To Columns and on third step

Hi @jacovdl ,

 

Follow the steps from @Sergei Baklan in his previous post, and then, in your pivot table, right click over the column that contains the Dates labels, and select: "Group"

Since you have already formated as Date, it will recognise the possibilities for grouping automatically, and will give you the following options:
