Hello all,

I'd appreciate any help solving the below mystery...

I'm using Excel 2016 (in Windows) and have the 3D Maps functionality for the first time. I want to show progress over time by adding both location data (address inc. postcode or just postcode) and the date or month that point was added.

If I do it as the very first step, I can select "Start Date" (the name of my field) in the Time field, so clearly it is recognising my data correctly as a date.

I can then add my postcode/zip field (and/or any other geographic data field) from my Field List to the location field and the time field stays.

However if I then select the associated drop-down label(s) for the location field(s) e.g. "Postal Code" the time field disappears.

If I do the geographic data and select the associated drop-down labels as the first step, it doesn't allow me to add a time field at all. (Clicking on "Add Field" under Time does nothing.)

Many thanks for any thoughts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
