grouping field in pivot table!
The Group command is for date and number fields, and won't work if a
field contains text or blank cells. You could manually group the items in the field, by selecting two or more items in the pivot table, and choosing PivotTableGroup and Show DetailGroup. Or, add a column to the source data table, and enter a Group label there, for each record. Add that field to the pivot table. via135 wrote: hi all! in my worksheet a particular field (COL) contains "two digit numbers,some alphabets & some alphanumerals"..like (10,20,30,AA,BB,A1,B3,...). the problem is after creating a pivot table while i am trying to group that particular filed i am getting the msg "can't group that field". how to overcome the problem? help pl! -via135 -- Debra Dalgleish Excel FAQ, Tips & Book List http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html |
