Default Pivot Table: Cannot group that selection

You have hit on the big reasons why dates sometimes will not group. Check out
this link...

http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot07.html#Problems

To ensure that you truely have dates try re-formatting the dates to pick out
and dates that are something other than a date. Also ensure that your randge
does not extgend past the date range as that constitues blank cells. finally
if you did have a date that you needed to change from test or such to a date
then you need to refresh the pivot table twice. Long story made short the
table needs to be refreshed twice to recognize the change.

verified that the dates are valid and that there are no blanks. Anything else
I can do?
