Pivot Table field selection order
Hi,
Using Excel 2007 For some reason my Pivot Table Field List selection under "Choose fields to add to report:" is sorted in ascending order and not in the order they appear in the data. This means that the data dates are sorted by month by year and not by year by month. e.g. Sum of 1 Apr 2009 Sum of 1 Apr 2010 Sum of 1 Apr 2011 Sum of 1 Aug 2009 Sum of 1 Aug 2010 Sum of 1 Aug 2011 Sum of 1 Dec 2009 Sum of 1 Dec 2010 etc instead of Sum of 1 Apr 2009 Sum of 1 May 2009 Sum of 1 Jun 2009 etc. This makes selecting contiguous months REALLY tedious!! What have I done?? Any suggestions appreciated! Regards, Bony |

Pivot Table field selection order
Hi,
If you read the question you will see that the selection table is sorted not the resulting table. Grouping works at a table level.

Hi Herbert,
Great solution! I was interested to know how you access the PT Wizard in 2007 ?? While looking for it, I found the answer tomy own question. In PivotTable Tools Ribbon under the Options Tab in the PivotTable section where the PivotTable name is there is an Options tab. Click this, select Options and then the Display Tab. At the bottom is a Field List option that sorts the Source Data as you like it. Thanks for the steer though!! Good tip for the future!
