Pivot Table Date Range

[Guest]

Hi

I am using Win2000 and Excel 2000. I would like to know if there is a way of
including a date range in a pivot table that allows me to select between 2
dates.

That is, I would like to be able to type in a specific start date (ie;
01/01/05) and a specific end date (ie; 18/05/05) and have the pivot table
extract the data. Is this possible?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

John

I like to do it this way:

I insert another column in the raw data. I create a formula in that helper
column:

=if(and(a2>=date(2005,1,1),a2<=date(2005,5,5)),"show","Hide")

Then I use that field as a page field in the pivottable. I can choose to show
"show" or "hide" or "(all)".
