hey guys i want to group the date of one of my pivot table fields. i know how to group it if its in the rows or columns place, but i don't know how to group it if it's in the report filter place. i've attached the picture below, it's showing me individual dates of dec and nov. i want to be able to choose "DEC" or "NOV" or whichever other date it is. could yall help me out? not sure if this is possible or not. thanks guys!!![value list shows 1 dec 2012 instead of just dec 2012]()
(maybe i have to create one more column showing the month(A2) for example - but if i have to resort to that, how do i show "mmm yyyy" format from the list that the user selects from? i know i can format the cell to show "mmm yyyy" but that only shows that format after the user selects 1/12/2012 from the value list.![work around adding a month year column]()
![after formatting the report filter cell]()
so in the end i used the text formula text(a3,"mmm yyyy") for the work around solution which gave me the right formatting, but how do i sort it in the value list as a sequential months instead of alphabetical order? thanks guys!!
