Pivot tables

If I have exported data from Sage (transaction listings) and want to creat pivot table with heading including months. How do I format date to read say April07 instead of 01/04/07 as this makes grouping transaction difficlut.

RE: Format Dates

Hi Morounke,

Generally in Excel, if you want to select the entire column of dates & format, you can do the following:

    1. Click on the first date of the column
    2. Hold on CTRL + SHIFT + down arrow, to highlight the entire list
    3. FORMAT menu -> Cells
    4. Choose NUMBER tab -> CUSTOM category
    5. Under "Type", key in the syntax mmmyy
    6. Press OK


See if that works.
