I don't think this is possible, but thought I'd check to be sure.

Can a pivot table display text values or must a pivot table do calculations
and only display numbers??

I am basically trying to create a report from data I pulled from MS
Project... I've got a resource name, a list of dates, and a list of projects.
I'm looking for a solution to the cross tab report "who does what when."

I want to create a pivot table that will display the dates as columns, and
the resource names as rows... and then in the data section the project name.
I want it to look something like this:

Date Date Date Date
Resource Project 1 Project2 Project3 Project4
Resource Project 2 Project2 Project3 Project1
Resource Project 1 Project2 Project3 Project4


I dont want a count or a sum... just the name of the project. Can this be
done?

This is microsoft.public.excel.charting, for discussing making graphs
using Excel. It's not really the right place for questions about making
spreadsheets. Have you tried microsoft.public.excel.misc?
