Hi, I hope someone can help, this is driving me crazy. I'm new to pivot tables and SSAS cubes. I'm using Excel 2013.
I have a date field in a pivot table (sourced from a SSAS cube) that I cannot group by because the 'Group Field' button is grayed out. As well, I'm unable to create a Timeline Slicer, error states that I don't have a date field in the report.
I've have the same issues as described here, unfortunately there is no explanation as to the fix. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/5ee2a24b-bd59-46a9-8b5d-125bc0a82c92/pivot-table-group-options-are-grayed-out-trying-to-work-with-dates?forum=excel
I have checked my data for empty cells. The original table is a not null date column, should be impossible to have an empty cell. I've tried to force the definition on that column but after I add the date to the pivot table I cannot set the formatting on the column or cell.
I'm sure there is a simple fix.
