this is probably a simple question but I cannot figure it out. I want to
create a pivot table report with two data items (e.g., density and cover) in
a column field (date). any thoughts?

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you saying that you want
columns to appear horizontally across the pivot table report? If so, have a
look here for some info: http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot02.html
