Pivot tables - adding dates, descriptions
I am not understanding a basic process in the pivot tables.
I have a simple table of subcontracts for my construction company. The fields a Job# Contract # Vendor Date Contract item # Description I can make a pivot table that shows the contract item #'s as a row label and then the sum of the valuse as a seperate column. What I want to show is the date and the description of each contract item, so that the pivot table would look something like this: Contract item #1 12/18/09 framing $18,000 Contract item #2 12/22/09 window prep $2,300 I can add date and description as Row Labels, but then they each create a seperate row, and I would like all of the information to be on one row,with the values at the end. Any help is much appreciated |

Pivot tables - adding dates, descriptions
Len, I am looking at this right now.
Question please: you mention a figure of $ 18,000. Which column (in the underlying data) does this come from? As far as I can see your columns:- Job# Contract # Vendor Date Contract item # Description - do not have a, "number" field (from which the figure of $ 18,000 is derived). Which column (in the underlying data) does this come from? "Len Chaston" wrote: I am not understanding a basic process in the pivot tables.
