    pivot table with multiple instances

    i'm currently dealing witha pivot table that has column fields and row fields
    and is displaying the the "count" of a field. this is displaying numbers
    other than 0 and 1 as it should, but i was wondering if there is a way to
    somehow display all of the actual values. for example:

    apple no tuesday
    apple yes monday
    apple no wednesday
    orange yes thursday
    orange yes friday
    pear no saturday


    making a pivot table of this with the frute as the column field, yes/no as
    the row field, and day as the data, you'll notice that orange has 2 yes. how
    do i get it to display the days of those yes? ii fpossible, in the pivote
    table? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    The pivottable data area is for numeric summaries--not text values.

    Hi assuming the columns are headed Fruit, Yes/No, Day
    Drag Fruit to Row ares, then Day to Row area then Yes/No to row area and
    drag count of Fruit to Data Area.
    Double click on each field in turn, and set Subtotal to None.
    From the PT toolbar, select dropdon for Pivot Table>Table>Options and
    deslect Grand Total for Rowsand Grand Total for columns.
    If you don't want to see the count of Yes and No's for each day, then
    right click on the column heading where the PT Toal appears, and hide
    the column.
    Without the Count column the result will look like

    Fruit Day Yes/No
    apple monday yes
    tuesday no
    wednesday no
    orange thursday yes
    friday yes
    pear saturday no

    apple monday yes
    tuesday no
    wednesday no
    orange thursday yes
    friday yes
    pear saturday no
