Shiju -

Pretty much the same in Excel 2007:

2003: To group the dates, right click anywhere in the date field range, choose Group and Show Detail, then choose Group.

2007: Right click on the dates (the date field range) or on the “Order Date” header. Click on the popup menu item called “Group…”.

Hi Peltier,

Thanks for your helpful post and blogs.

Concerning grouping or converting the date format in pivot table, i tried the same in Excel 2007, but was unable to locate the option for “Group & show detail”.

Kindly help with the issue as I don’t want to add columns in source data for changing the format and then pulling it onto the pivot.

Advice requested.

Regards

It’s sorting as text. 3/1 comes before 3/2, which is before 3/8. I usually use a dummy column with the first day of the week in it, and sort by that.
