Hi,

Working in excel 2007. I have set up a pivot table to view sales figures.

I download the data from an sql server and then have to run a text to columns operation so that the date is in the correct format and an can be sorted.

When I built the pivot table from scratch, when I chose to filter by 'Creation date' there was no issue and I could select data from this year, last month, this week-no problem. I test once or twice pasting in the data and seemed to have no issue. When i tried this week, the date filter is no longer possible, I can now just see label filters.

I have tried, formatting the source data in other ways but to no avail. I can filter the souce data by date with no issue but for some reason the date filters are not working on the pt.

Please help.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Ok, So I found the answer. If you have this problem, ensure there are no blanks in your column of dates otherwise excel will think it is a value and not a date.
