Default Pivot Table

I have a Pivot Table that has the following layout:

Name - Module - Month - Numerator - Denominator - %
Jim - PN - Jan09 - 195 - 200 -.98
- Feb09 - 190 - 200 -.95
- Mar09 - 250 - 260 -.96

I have this data for 125 employees for each every month they are employeed.
Each month the new data is added to the data tab and pivot table.

I would like to look at the data for the last 400 (or some other number) of
questions (denominator). In the example above, I would want just Feb and
Mar. I can filter out the months to get that information by employee but I
would like to get it for everyone. It could be six months for some employees
and one month for others.

Default Pivot Table

From what I can tell from your question your best solution will probably be
to add a new field into your source data that will be true or false and will
indicate whether that record should be included or not. That filed can be
added as a filter to your pivot table. It is hard to comment further as it is
not obvious what your source data might look like.

Default Pivot Table

My source data is very similar to the pivot table.
Name - Module - Month - Numerator - Denominator

The source data is updated each month and never purged.
