text fields in pivot tables
I am using a pivot table to display data ina user friendly way rather than to
really analyze anything. I want to get the "value" of a text field as a data element in a pivot table. There is only a single value for each of 5 years for 150 different programs. I thought by asking for MAX value i could fake it out, but it comes back with 0's rather than the text value. What I want is something like this: year 1 year 2 year 3 etc progarm 1 satisfac excellent fair program 2 fair poor fair program 3 |
