Default update independent column on pivot table

That isn't something supported by the pivot table.

Since it is a formula relative only to the row, it should recalculate and
give you the desired result. The only problem would be if the pivot table
included more rows, then you would need to either have your formulas
pre-entered or have to copy them down.

An alternative might be to put formulas in adjacent columns in the original
data and make them part of the pivot table. The feasibility of this
approach would be if the formulas were single row oriented.

Hi
I have this one problem that I tried to solve. I don't have advanced
knowledge in excel, so any advise really helpful.

I created a pivot table from another workbook (let's call it workbook1).
This pivot table contains 2 colums. When somebody else update workbook1,

I
refreshed my pivot table to reflect those new datas. Now, on the next

column
(column 3 and the rest, I have independent column that I put the data in
manually, and also some of them calculation (such as column 2 in pivot

table
* column 3 = column 4).
everytime those data got refresh in pivot table, my own data in column 3

and
the rest doesn't get refresh.
For example:
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
123 2 3 6
231 3 1 3
COL1 and 2 from pivot table, col 3 = independent column, col4 = col2 *

col3
also, col1 needs to be in sequential. So, if I have a new number 150
(that's going to be on row2), it rfresh col 1 and 2, but col3 and 4 still
stays on row1 and 2. what i want that data for 231 shoould follow on the
same row.

I hope my explanation on the problem is not confusing.
all the helps really appreciated.
thx
