    Pivot with Text

    Hi All,

    Is it possible to set up data like a true pivot with Text in the values fields? I'm trying to do a work schedule with dates across the columns, names in the rows and activities in the Values section. I already have the data in a table but am not able to use pivot or powerpivot to achieve this.

    Thanks,
    Jimbo

    Pivot tables will only give you numbers in the values section. To fill in a grid, you'll probably need a combination of Index and Match.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    Hi Jimbo,

    Welcome to the forum.
    Are you able to attach a desensitised copy of your table/file so we can have a look?

    Regards
