Default Pivot Table - "data" part

Hi,

I have three columns (name, location, date of visit) and have put these into
a PT. Name in row
Location in column
Date in data

I need to x-ref people and the date they visited a particular site.

Problem is that the date is asking for sum (or count or average or max
etc..) and all I want to do is display the date. How can I just display the
date for each entry without it trying to find the sum/avg/max etc...

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that a name may have visited a location on more
than one occasion and therefore I need to see each date they visited.
Currently it is only showing one. When I select Min it shows the date of
their first visit and when I select Max it shows their last visit date. I
need to see all instances of when they visited each location.

Thanks

Put another copy of Date in the Row area, below Name.
In the data area, show Max of date.
Then, you could hide the worksheet column that contains the date in the
row area.

Thanks for the reply Debra. This has worked and has helped me somewhat.

I now have two (or more) instances of where the same name (person) has
visited a location on more than one occasion. When I select 'max of Date' it
only shows me their last date of visit (if I do min, it shows me their first
date of visit). Is it possible to view ALL the dates they have visited each
location and not just either their 1st or last please?

Thanks,

AW
