Default date filter in a pivot table

I have a pivot table created from data that includes dates. *I have formated

filter them as values. *Even after I have gone into Pivot Table, Options,
Field Settings and changed the number formate to date and refreshed the Piot
Table, I still cannot filter using date filters (it is greyed out).


Hi,

I think it may be because this is an Excel 2007 feature. I had the
same problem with files saved as .xls but the date filters appear if
saved as .xlsx (Excel 2007)
