    Adding additional data to a pivot chart

    Hello,

    I am trying to add a line or some sort of note to a pivot chart and I'm wondering how to do it. I will have multiple items but the note only occurs on one date for each particular item.

    For example, let's say that I am keeping track of when I buy an item (month and year) and when I sell an item (month and year). I want to add some sort of note automatically to my pivot charts indicating when I put these items on sale (month and year). For example, maybe I put all RC Cars on sale May-01 and all airplanes on sale Oct-05. How can I get the sale date into my pivot chart?

    I've attached this spreadsheet as a zip, but basically:

    My original data is:
    Item Serial Number Date Bought Date Sold Sale
    RC Car P00693 Jan-05 Oct-05 May-05
    Airplane P00315 Feb-05 Dec-05 Oct-05
    RC Car P00253 Jan-05 Jan-06 May-05


    I can create a pivot table if I duplicate the data:
    Bought/Sold Version S/N Date Item
    Bought P00693 Jan-05 RC Car
    Bought P00315 Feb-05 Airplane
    Bought P00253 Jan-05 RC Car
    Sold P00693 Oct-05 RC Car
    Sold P00315 Dec-05 Airplane
    Sold P00253 Jan-06 RC Car


    But I still can't add the date that I have a big sale for each item category. I have a bought date in the pivot table, and a sold date, and I could add a sale date, but that causes problems if no sale date is defined.

    Thanks for your time,
    Michael
