You'll get a date hierarchy inserted into the pivot.
Dates in col a Name in col b
Make pivot Pivot will have Date and name in the field list Also Months, Quarters, YEars.
Chuck the date (or months/quarters, years) in rows, then count of name in the values.
But then I end up with a count for each date rather than month.
On the pivot? Look in the field list? You should have three new fields under the date, depending on your version of excel, as excel now inserts date hierarchy in there, giving you Quarter (date) Month (date) Year (date)
