Thanks, for the reply, I have one more question.
For a pivot table if I group a date field in a column by month is
there anyway to change the ordering? By default it starts with Jan-
Dec, but I'd prefer if it starts with May-Apr (by fiscal year)
Thanks,
dave

You can't change the months that are grouped in a year. You could create
another field in your source data, and calculate the fiscal year and
month. Then add that field to the pivot table, instead of grouping the
dates.

Hi
The way I get around this is to create a new Custom List.
Tools>Options>Custom Lists> type your List May, Jun ...... Apr in a
column in the white pane and choose Add.
Double click on your date field>Advanced>Sort>Ascending

You could, or you could manually rearrange the dates, but they'd be in
the wrong fiscal year, if you just group the dates by year and month.

I've already created a fiscal year field so it's a matter of sorting
the months.
I'll check out the custom list.
thanks,
