Default Data in list w/same A:B move to column


Hi,

I have a list of source data that I need to change to format of and I
am not sure how to do it. Maybe a pivot table? What I want to do is
have each Pers. No. and name displayed in only one row. Then I want the
other date & date type pairs displayed in the columns next to Hire date.
So each employee will have multiple columns of dates and date types.
Does anyone know how to do this? I tried a pivot table but I dont want
to do any calculations with the data... I just want to display it and I
cant find a way to get Excel to do that. I would greatly appreciate
anyones help!

Thanks,
Adrianne

Pers.No. Personnel Number Date Date type
5 Hopkins , Kevin 11/17/1998 Hire Date
5 Hopkins , Kevin 11/17/1998 Adj Service Date
5 Hopkins , Kevin 01/19/1999 Rehire Date
5 Hopkins , Kevin 01/19/1999 Vac Accrual Date
7 Zinis , Anthony F 04/18/2000 Hire Date
7 Zinis , Anthony F 04/18/2000 Adj Service Date
7 Zinis , Anthony F 04/18/2000 Vac Accrual Date
9 McTyre , Mark 01/24/2000 Hire Date
9 McTyre , Mark 01/24/2000 Adj Service Date

Adrianne -
If each Date Type can have only one entry per person (i.e., someone
can't have two Rehire Dates), you can use a pivot table. Follow the
pivot table wizard and

Drag Pers.No to the left most column (set field settings subtotal to
none)
Drag Name to the column area adjacent to Pers No
Drag Date Type to the top Column area
Drag Date to the data area. This will likely default to a count.
Change it to sum and change the format to date.
Under Table Options, turn off grand totals for rows and columns

This should get you going. As mentioned it only works if there is a
max of one entry per date type. If there is two, then the date shows in
the table will be significantly off...the year would be in another
century.
