Currently, I used Excel group report feature that allows you to pivot out my
month and year, but it doesn't have an option for quarters. If I group the
quarters together on my main data worksheet, that negates the PT's
functionality, as it doesn't want to see any groups.
I'd thought of creating another column in the data worksheet that says Q1,
Q2, etc, but there's got to be an easier way.
I'm using XP Pro, Excel 2002. My date field is a numeric one, using the
format of xx/xx/xxxx.
Another thought was to break up the date entry into three separate field for
MO/DAY/YR, but that seems unecessary also.

Thanks,
Peter
