I have a column with the following information:
F2=1/3/2010
F3=1/15/2010
F4=2/14/2010
and so on

I'm creating a Pivot Table to display this information and right now it
shows each week. I really want to the Pivot Table to show the data based on
the month.

How do i take the information above (e.g. 1/3/2010) and create a column that
will only show Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.

So essentially i want to say IF F2=mm/dd/yyyy then G2=Jan

thanks

In an empty column adjoining your data, try:
=TEXT(F2,"mmm")
and copy down.

Hope this helps,

Hutch

As long as each entry in that field is a date (no empty cells and no text), then
you can create the pivottable and group the data by months (and years (I bet)).

Rightclick on the field (in the PT)
Select "Group and show detail",
Then Group.
