Hi

If you have any Text or any Blank cells in your column of dates, then Excel
will not permit Grouping.

Instead of selecting a fixed range larger than your existing data, allowing
room for adding new data, use a dynamic range as your source, which only
contains rows which have values.

For example
InsertNameDefine
Name myData
Refers to =$A$1:INDEX($A:$A,COUNTA($A:$A),INDEX($1:$1,COUNTA ($1:$1))

Right click on the PTBackSource =myDataOK

I have a large database wherein under Date column, data is in the format
"Thu
Oct 1 12:00 AM".
When I use Pivot Table Under OPTIONS-GROUP- Group Field is disabled.
I used this to group Date field to either present data by Month, quarter
at
one click.
Can anybody guide me why this seems to be disabled here.
I want to present my data only by Monthwithout changing the format ""Thu
Oct
1 12:00 AM".

Thanks
