Hi Folks:

I'm using a small table (~700 rows and 15 columns) as a Pivot Table source
where I'm trying to group sales results by customer by month/year.

Typically I've never seen this, but in this case, Pivot Table is reporting
"Cannot Group That Selection". I'm guessing this is a date formatting
issues, but I've tried everything.

Any help appreciated . . . .

Thanks
Steve

If there are any blank cells in the date column, you won't be able to
group the dates in the pivot table.

Or, if the dates are being treated as text, you won't be able to group
them. If so, you can change the dates back to numbers, as described he

Thanks.
I checked the entire column - no blanks - also checked formatting - no help.
Any other thoughts??
Hope all is well
