Elane - Using Referencing Pivot Table Ranges in VBA to find the range with the month, you'll need a loop something like this (warning: untested):

For Each cMonth in rMonths.Cells
  Select Case cMonth.Value
    Case "Jan"
      iColor = RGB(0,0,255)
    Case "Feb"
      iColor = RGB(255,255,0)
    Cast "etc."
      iColor = RGB(blah,blah,blah)
  End Select
  With Intersect(cMonth.EntireRow, .TableRange1)
    .Interior.Color = iColor   
  End With
Next

W.r.t Excel 2007, and probably 2010:
To use conditional formatting, select ONLY the body cells of the pivot table.
If only body range is selected, then under manage rules, New Rule, you will now get an additional “Apply Rules To:” element to the dialog, with “Selected cells” ticked.
Once applied, the conditional formatting will retain through an update.

Nina -

You need to switch the positions of the two fields in the row area of your pivot table, so the one with AA and BB is to the left of the one with Alpha and Beta.

Hi Jon,

How would you group all the BBs in one group and all the AAs in one group? I need to graph the AAs and BBs in one graph, but AAs side by side in one group and BBs side by side as a second group.
