If the field has blank cells or cells with text, you might not be able
to format the numbers, because that field is treated as Text data type.

I have had this same problem. In some of my pivot tables, there is NO
NUMBER format button under field settings.

Why would this happen?

The pivot chart number formats are controlled by the field format in the
pivot table.
Right-click a date in the pivot table
Click on Field Settings
Change the Number Format to the date format that you want.

I have a pivot chart where the x axis has dates. It currently is displayed
as 7/31/08 and I need it to be Jul-08. I have gone into the format area
chosen number then date and chosen the Jul-08 format but it doesn't change on
the Pivot chart. it still shows as 7/31/08. How can I change this I think
I'm choosing the right thing but since it hasn't changed I guess I'm not
HELP!!!!!!
