Excel Pivot Tables

Brain Freeze

I am working on an assignment where we have to use pivot tables. The
question I have to answer is "Are their any times of day when purchases are
most common? Do people buy product while at work or at home. I have
spreadsheet with the following columns; CUST ID, REGION, PAYMENT, SOURCE,
AMOUNT, PRODUCT, and TIME OF DAY. I am trying to set up a pivot table so
that only the purchases made from 0800 - 1700 hours are displayed and counted
for each region and then for all those outside of theat time frame. I have
the basic understanding of how to set up a simple pivot table, but I can't
figure out jow to set up the pivot table for the time portion. Can someone
help?

Make the Time field a row (or column) field in your pivot table.
Now group the Time field (Data -> Group and Outline -> Group).
Lots of lovely options for grouping time!
