Pivot Table Date Groups

[MarkN]

Hello,

I would like to be able to group dates in the row area of a pivot table so
that items are grouped into Australian financial years (1st July 2005 to 30th
June 2006 etc). Can this be done? Any help appreciated.

Set up a lookup table on a spare sheet that assigns the correct accounting period to each of the 365 dates in the year, and add an extra column to your spreadsheet headed acc_per

In that column =vlookup(ord_date, lookuptablename,2)

Then use acc_per in your pivot table.

Thanks very much, problem solved...
