Hi Monica

I have tried again and also failed.
The only workaround that I can think of at the moment is perhaps to have
another column in your source table, and use the Weeknum() feature from
the Analysis Toolpack.
=Weeknum(your_date)
Then allocate this field to the PT as well, and you would see data
grouped by Weeknum inside Month.

If Debra Dalgleish spots this post, she may well be able to come up with
a "correct" solution for you.

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!

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?
