    Hi Gina:

    I disagree with you. How will you switch to graph view if Pivot view is disappeared???

    I have to agree with everyone in this forum that it was a very poor decision from Microsoft to get rid of pivot tables view. I just got a refund from my returned Access. Please let me know when/if the feature is re-incorporated.

    Renehubard,

    Sorry but no I don't know of any other software that I would put in the same league as Access (and with Pivot tables).

    I'm on the same situation. I just purchased Access 2013 assuming it would have Pivot Table View which I use constantly at work. I never thought that an upgrade would rid itself of important features... Disappointing. Any idea of other DB software out there that has a similar feature and that is compatible with Access?

    Maybe I should have been more clear:

    * Because a superior version exists in another MSFT tool (Excel) and maintaining both seems wasteful

    * Because even maintaining a feature throughout the versions requires manpower which we like to pour into the web features

    * Because data from the Customer Experience program tells us few people use it.

    Sorry Tom, those are lame after the fact rationalizations produced as excuses by management and the PR department for bad design decisions.

    Having Pivot TAbles in both Access and Excel exposed the feature to more users, hopefully leading to more use of the tool.

    If those "rules" were truly being applied to all extraneous features in the Office suite, then there would be little reason to include the extensive PHOTO/Image editing features that were added in Office 2007 (and extended since then) to Word, Excel and PowerPoint (and maybe to other Office apps that I don't use). They would have been limited to PowerPoint and users would have been told to copy and paste from PowerPoint into Word and Excel...

    If all that manpower has been "poured" into the web apps, why have we seen so little change (I admit there has been some) to their feature sets?

    I've got some stat's used to rationalize the draconian imposition of the ribbon gooey

    "in Word 2003 and earlier MS Stats show only 13% of commands/ features are actively used..."

    on that basis 87% of the features could be eliminated !  That would certainly simplify the programs. <grin>
