grouping data in pivot tables
I am trying to group some dates in a pivot table, however when I select the
field, right click and select "group", I get an error - "Can't group that selection". I have checked that the field is formatted correctly (dates). Any suggestions? |

grouping data in pivot tables
Hi,
Make sure you have no blank rows in your Pivotdata range, and that you have no blank cells in your date range. The data grouping wont work in those cases. Regards Govind.

I am getting the same error. I've reformatted the dates various ways and I

If there are "Blank" elements in your pivot table, edit the source data to
eleminate them by either adding the word "Blank" or deleting. Refresh the table and then try to group again. -- TX-CPA "sbates26" wrote: I am getting the same error.
