I have the whole data monthwise for 3 years. On analysing it through pivottable. when i insert month on rows, it arranges the data as follows
apr -03 aug -03 dec -03 (that is alphabetically)
instead of
apr -03 may -03 jun -03
can you help me in rectifying this problem
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
More than likely your dates are formatted as text. Therefore Excel does not recognize the date sequence you would like and alphabetizes the text.

Check the formatting of your dates and change them to a date format by selecting them and going to Excel menu selecting "Format" then "Cells..." then "Number" tab then select "Date" and pick format you would like.
