    I have 278184 lines of individual dates, i need to pivot table each by month :( For a quantity relating to the 2nd cell.

    Trying to use IF and it doesnt seem to work, i have

    A1 B1
    1/1/2010 Paul
    4/1/2010 paul
    6/1/2010 brian etc

    I need to make a pivot on Paul/Brian for Jan 2010 to now.

    Anyone know how i can use IF to make the date become Jan 10 as Format Cells for some reason doesnt work in a pivot table (excel 2007) it reverts back to 1/1/2010.

    thanks

    Try using the following formula in column C:

    =TEXT(A1,"mmm yyyy")

    It'll format the date to "Jan 2010" and you can then go ahead with your pivot.

    No problem. The TEXT() function is very handy for formatting numbers and dates to the desired format.

    Check out this link for any further information.
