Pivot Table exclude negative values from sum
Using Excel 2007:
I am using a pivot table to sum staff by department. Some departments have positions shown as a negative (indicates they belong to a different department/budget). When I include the FTE column in my pivot table to summarize staffing by department, it adds the negatives making the total incorrect. How can I get the table to sum only if values are greater than zero? |

You could add an extra field into your source data flagging negative values.
Assuming your FTE's are in colmun B you could use a formula like =B20 to return simple true false flags... -- HTH...
