I have been trying to create a vlookup to a Pivot Table. My vlookup is going
to reference a date in the pivot table. I have confirmed that the vlookup
works, it is the pivot table and how it is storing the dates that is the
problem.
For the pivot table - I checked the source data and all the date fields are
formatted as "MMM-YY". When I run the pivot table from this is will store it
as text. I even tried formatting the dates as "MM/DD/YY" and the pivot table
pulls it over in that format - but when I use the formula "ISTEXT(cell)" it
is TRUE - thus stroed as text.
How do I get the pivottable to pull the date fields over and store them in a
date format vs. text?
