Thread: PLEASE HELP!!! Needing to showing more than 4 Quarters in a Pivot Table/Chart.

Is there a way to expand my chart to include all yearly quarters. Currently, in my chart I can only display Qtr1-Qtr4.

Ultimately I would like to have a chart that displays the number of tasks to be completed for each quarter.

Additionally, I would like for the chart to display the quarters sequentially. (ex. Q1-2010, Q2-2010, Q3-2010 instead of Q1-2010, Q1-2011, Q2-2010, Q2-2011)

Also, if I can only show 4 quarters at a time, how can I ensure that IF the quarters span into the next year that it is also included in the chart. (ex. Q4-2010 to Q-3 2011)

Test data attached.

Thanks in advance.

Easiest way to do this is to add another column that calculates the quarter and include that in the pivot data. See attached.

You need to group the dates by year as well as by quarter.
