also when i did a search in help (excel 2003) i came across some Microsoft
templates that had data & pivot table examples, however i couldn't get the
direct address ... but you might like to also try the same approach
Perhaps you might have some successes with the e-book on http://www.theworldsshortestexcelbook.com I have had some great successes
with. It covers Pivot Tables as well. I'm not connected to the author or
web site, I just think it was (is) a great e-book.
