Pivot Table Help

I am attempting to learn to use pivot tables.

I have noticed that if I have used the Lookup Wizard when creating my
tables so allow the user to select from a list of choices when entering
data, this causes a problem with the pivot tables.

When I try to use a field like "Customer_N ame" and drag it onto my
pivot table, it display's the ID for that Customer instead of the
Customer's name.

Is there a way to change the pivot table so that it will display the
name rather than the ID in this situation?
Thanks,

Jody Blau

Your lookup/find combobox is probably showing the CustName but really
operating on CustID. Look at the properties of the combobox and you'll
probably see that the 1st column (CustID) is set to 0" width (to hide it).
Make the recordsource of your pivot table a query that contain the actual
CustName as well as the ID-Name lookup.

Hi, Hoping someone can help. I have created a pivot table and launch it via a command button. Unfortunately, it opens in form view and not in pivot table view. I have opened the form in design view and set the default view to pivot table but still no luck. I have searched Google but no help there either. Any help/advice appreciated. --

I'm creating a pivot table using vb.net and the data is from sqlserver (desktop). I have been successful at creating the pivot table, which includes a 'date' column field.

Any help to code grouping the date column field would be appreciated. Thanks, Jerry

I've got something called "Reference Rates". The idea is that on a given day, we have various rates of return for various entities. e.g. Libor 3-month return, Libor 6-month return, US Treasury Bonds, the Prime rate, and so-forth. We associate a security with one of those rates. There are a set of rates for each calendar day, and the rates for that
