    show multiple dates in pivot table graph

    Hi, i want to show from the attached file a pivot chart that shows 2 entry dates on the chart.
    In column "R" a 1 is placed to signify a seperate check for that day is used, so when plotted both days results are shown.
    When i pivot the data it just puts the date together. How do i seperate so both results are shown

    In column "AP" is the data split into the dates, but if i do it this way i cant get rid of the -, blank or 2 that may be displayed, and the data looks messy.

    Any suggestions???

    Hi interested,

    Not able to locate 1 in column R and also in Column AP there are only years.
    I think you need to describe your queries with correct references in the spreadsheet and also it would be better if you could highlight them with some color. Thanks

    Re: show multiple dates in pivot table graph

    Sorry for the confusion. I should have stated the location of column "R" is in tab "Quality Characterisation & OOB" and AQ should be the reference in "pivot data" tab. I have also highlighted in yellow as your recomendation.
    Thanks for the reply.

    Re: show multiple dates in pivot table graph

    Hi interested,

    Now I got your query.
    To display two different entries for two different dates in the data, you need to differentiated both these dates and then you need to plot these dates as text not dates.
    1/15/2012 could be:-

    1/15/2012
    1/15/2012_1

    Please share what type of chart you are trying to create? Also is it mandatory that you need to create that chart as pivot chart only?

    Regards,

    Re: show multiple dates in pivot table graph

    Thanks for the reply Dilipandy.

    What i am trying to do is show the same date on the same graph for 2 results. If you look at the attached file, i have highlighted in yellow the date 11/1/2012 on quality and OOB tab. A seperate database is used to configure the product which gives a seperate result.(Pivot data tab AQ26 and AQ27)Data base 1 gives a result of 47% and normal gives 99.5%, but the pivot chart is very messy, full of 1(database 1) or - (other option i tried)

    In pivot table AL-AN the same result combines both results to 73%(not what i want), but the chart format is correct, just not displaying both dates.

    If there is another way other than pivot tables i am more than happy to try, but i need to be able to report daily and monthly the results.

    Thanks again

    Hi interested,

    Just as an option, see the attachment where one date can be shown against two results.
    You can further play with this and achieve your desired results.

    Thanks for the reply. I will try different things. Simply using space bar removes the dash and keeps the date format in the example you gave.
