Default PivotTable Group by Week and Month

I tried a couple of things using VB code. But was unable to get the days to
stick. I don't have a lot of time to spend on this issue but it is driving
me crazy. Microsoft help says that you should be able to group multiple days
and month.

Thank you,
Monica

Hi Monica

My apologies, for I fear I may have misled you. You do not have a bug in
your software.
On looking back at my test data, the individual dates did happen to all
be the same day of the week, therefore I was "fooled" into thinking the
PT was still grouping on a 7 day frequency inside of Month frequency.
It does lose the 7 day grouping, once Month or Quarter is applied, and
does go back to individual days as you describe.

I just tried it on my wife's computer, XL2002 SP3, and that behaves the
same.
I don't have access to a machine with XL2000 and XL97 just at the
moment, so I can't go back to explore the behaviour in those versions.
I have tried changing the starting date to every different weekday to
see if that makes any difference, but it doesn't, so I'm afraid I have
no workaround for you.

There may be a VB solution, but I can't think of one.

I'm starting to think I have a bug in my software because my grouping
does
revert to 1 day even when I enter 7 then select the Month. I've
tried
grouping by days only first and it groups just fine. I then go back
to the
grouping and select month the day box shows 7 but when I hit okay the
table
changes to Month and 1 day group. Frustating!

Hi Monica

Also on XL2003.
It does still group by 7 day periods, even when you add Months (and
Quarters), but I agree that the selection box for number of days
which
becomes greyed out, does revert back to 1, even though my report
still
does do the grouping in weekly intervals.

I have created a Pivot Table the is groups my date by Days = 7. I
then
wanted to add a Month grouping that would keep the days in the
correct
month
even if the week is split. I have done this in the past with no
problem but
after upgrading to Office 2003 the pivot table is reverting the Day
grouping
to 1. Any ideas how to correct this?
