You can do several useful things with dates in Pivot Tables, including grouping, filtering and applying timelines. This video shows you how to do all those things using VBA.
This video has the following accompanying files:

Making a video bigger
You can increase the size of your video to make it fill the screen like this:
Play your video (the icons shown won't appear until you do), then click on the full screen icon which appears as shown at its bottom right-hand corner.
When you've finished viewing a video in full screen mode, just press the Esc key to return to normal view.
Improving the quality of a video
To improve the quality of a video, first click on the Settings icon:
Make sure you're playing your video so that the icons shown appear, then click on this gear icon at the bottom right-hand corner.
Choose to change the video quality:
Click on Quality as shown to bring up the submenu.
The higher the number you choose, the better will be your video quality (but the slower the connection speed):
Don't choose the HD option unless you have a fast enough connection speed to support it!
Is your Wise Owl speaking too slowly (or too quickly)? You can also use the Settings menu above to change your playback speed.
Thankn you for the update. I will give it a go.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the videos.
How would you do a drill down for all transaction by picking a year and month using VBA?
Thanks
Marlon
Hi Marlon,
Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to apply the ShowDetail property to the cell into which you want to drill. The example code below assumes you have a pivot table arranged with years in the Rows area, month names in the column area and anything in the Values area.
Sub DrillDownOnDatePivot()
Dim DrillYear As String
Dim DrillMonth As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim RowNumber As Long
Dim ColumnNumber As Long
DrillYear = "2004"
DrillMonth = "May"
Set ws = Worksheets("DatePivot")
Set pt = ws.PivotTables("DatePivotTable")
RowNumber = pt.RowRange.Find(DrillYear).Row
ColumnNumber = pt.ColumnRange.Find(DrillMonth).Column
Debug.Print RowNumber, ColumnNumber
ws.Cells(RowNumber, ColumnNumber).ShowDetail = True
End Sub
You can adjust the DrillYear and DrillMonth values to drill into different cells in the pivot table. I hope that helps!
