Can you give an example of what you're trying to do, and the data you
want to group?

The tip did not help however, since you wrote the book, literally, let me
explain what I need to do. I need to produce a series of charts that pivot
between 5,7,9 and 11 columns of data, so the number of x axis values will
change and the chart has to expand or shrink to fit the data. It cannot show
blank values. I can accomplish this by turning off or on the data values,
but they need to be pivoted by group not by indivudual column. Please help.

text, you won't be able to group the data. There are some suggestions

I need to group the data in a pivot table, why will it not allow me to?
