Default Pivot tables field grouping

Create separate pivot tables, each based on the original data range,
instead of copying the pivot table to create the different reports.

If all the pivot tables are copies of the first pivot table, or based on
the existing pivot table, they use the same pivot cache, and the
grouping is the same for all pivot tables based on the same pivot cache.

I have a database with dates, sales and profits. I need to create report for
daily, monthly and yearly sales on different worksheets. I have created pivot
tables for reporting. But the problem is that when I group the date field on
monthly sheet by month, the same field is grouped by month on the quarter
sheet. I need the different groupings of date field on different sheets, but
this is not happening. It is not that the pivot tables are created from each
other. They are all created from the data source so why are they being
dependent on each other? I am using Excel 2003. Please help.
