    PivotTable column with comma delimited values

    I have some columns of data that have comma delimited values.

    Is there a way to make the pivot table realize the values are comma delimited and separate them out for use as filters?

    Example:

    So, when filtering for "Keywords" on the pivot table, it should show:

    Phase1
    Phase2
    Phase3

    No, you need to separate them before you apply the pivot table and, depending on what data you're looking for, you might need to further rearraign the data so phase 1,2 and 3 are in the same column.

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    Thanks, that is a very huge bummer though.

    Maybe if you upload an example spreadsheet showing exactly what you want the results to look like (a dummy pivot table), we can figure out a way to get there.
