Hi,

I am sure I have done this before but if I have a date as the row on a pivot table can the graph by still be used so customers can aggregate to month, year etc. The option is greyed out??

The field I am using is definitely a date field.

    sure no problem, Using a megatable automatically allows the graph by on the date field if the first column is a date or datetime type.

    I won't delete the post but will answer myself. A megatable can graph in this way.

    For some reason, the pivot table will only allow the "graph by" option if your date field is used for the rows, not the column.

    Is there a proposed solution for this when you need to actually use a pivot table for the pivot functionality? A Mega Table doesn't allow selection of the pivoted columns, which means that a table cannot both be pivoted and change the date grain of the table.
