Student Interaction: Microsoft Excel 224

Richard on 1/1/2007:  This is part 2 of the PivotTables series.
Denise Nichols on 2/23/2008: I have followed the instructions exactly however when I right click on the Date field and select Group and Show Detail option / Group I get the following error message - "Cannot group that selection." What can the problem be?
Richard Rost on 2/28/2008: Denise, without seeing exactly what you're doing, I really can't say what the problem is. What time-index in the video are you getting to when you get this problem? I'll see if I can recreate it. Since nobody else has complained here about this (and I know several thousand people have taken this class) it's got to be something you're doing different... but don't worry, we'll figure it out.
Ro on 10/4/2008: HI Richard, I am experiencing the same problem as Denise. When I create the Pivot table on my own I am getting the "Cannot group that selection" error as well. If I use the data set that you created, I don't have that problem. Have you figured this one out? thanks!! Ro
Richard Rost on 10/5/2008: Ro, send me your sheet and I'll take a look at what you're doing. I can't re-create the problem on my end.
Finlay Milroy on 11/11/2008: Richard: were you able to work Denise's problem out? I get the same "Cannot group that selection." message in both Excel 2003 and 2007. Excel 224, Lesson 02, minute 2:59. I right click on Date header, then click Groupand Show Detail in 2003 and Group in 2007 (there is no Group and Show Detail intermediate selection in 2007)and I get the error message in both cases. Any ideas? Finlay
 Ellen on 4/23/2009: When I try to group dates I, too, get error message "Cannot group that selection." I have Office 2007.
Russ Bleil on 8/1/2009: Richard I'm having the exact same problem, getting the same message. I've tried everything but with no success. Need your help. Thanks, Russ
