Tweaking a Excel Pivot Table to display a OrderNumber instead of a calculation? - excel-2007

Question

Using Microsoft Excel 2007 (or 2002) is it possible to create pivot data like this?
Specifically I would like to know if I can display '01(Y 0)' as a non-calculated text value instead of just a SUM/COUNT/MAX/etc value.

With ADO
Dim cn As Object
Dim rs As Object
Dim strFile As String
Dim strCon As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim s As String
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
''This is not the best way to refer to the workbook
''you want, but it is very convenient for notes
''It is probably best to use the name of the workbook.
strFile = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
''Note that if HDR=No, F1,F2 etc are used for column names,
''if HDR=Yes, the names in the first row of the range
''can be used.
''This is the Jet 4 connection string, you can get more
''here : http://www.connectionstrings.com/excel
strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strFile _
& ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"";"
''Late binding, so no reference is needed
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
cn.Open strCon
strSQL = "TRANSFORM First(t.[Order Number]) AS OrdNo " _
& "SELECT t.[Slot Number], t.Time " _
& "FROM [Sheet2$] t " _
& "GROUP BY t.[Slot Number], t.Time " _
& "PIVOT t.Company"
rs.Open strSQL, cn, 3, 3
''Pick a suitable empty worksheet for the results
With Worksheets("Sheet3")
For i = 1 To rs.Fields.Count
.Cells(1, i) = rs.Fields(i - 1).Name
Next
.Cells(2, 1).CopyFromRecordset rs
End With
''Tidy up
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing
