Note: I am using the tabular form layout in the above snapshot. This would summarize the data by Years and then within years by Quarters. You can select more than one option by simply clicking on it. In the Grouping dialogue box, select Quarters as well as Years.In a real life scenario, you are most likely to analyze these quarters for each year separately. Hence, for each quarter, the sales value is the sum of sales values in Quarter 1 in 20. The issue with this pivot table is that it combines the Quarterly sales value for 2014 as well as 2015. This would summarize the pivot table by quarters. In the Grouping dialogue box, select Quarters and deselect any other selected option(s).Here is how you can group these by quarters: In the above dataset, it makes more sense to drill down to quarters or months to have a better understanding of the sales. In this case, it would be better to have the quarterly or monthly data. This summarization by years may be useful when you have more number of years. This would summarize the pivot table by years. It picks the ‘Starting at’ date and ‘Ending at’ date based on the source data.By default, Months option is already selected. You can select additional option along with Month. While grouping dates, you can select more than one options.In the Grouping dialogue box, select Years.Go to Pivot Table Tools –> Analyze –> Group –> Group Selection.Select any cell in the Date column in the Pivot Table.Here are the steps to group these dates by years: The dataset shown above have dates for two years (20). In such as case, it would be better to have the dates grouped by years, quarters, and/or monthsĭownload Data and follow along. This pivot table summarizes sales data by date, but it isn’t quite helpful as it shows all the 300+ dates. Here is a simple pivot table summary created using this data: The data spans across 300+ rows and 4 columns. It has sales data by Date, Stores, and Regions (East, West, North, and South). Suppose you have a dataset as shown below:
