Hi scrabtree

you can add multiple fields into the column & row sections and filter for
the items (by clicking on the drop down arrows) you want to see - this
generally gives the same benefits as the sumif type criteria - the page
field can be used to give an overall filter.

does this help at all or do you need to use other formulas (btw, calculated
fields can be entered by choosing pivot table / formulas / calculated fields
from the pivot table toolbar)

Cheers

I am brand new to pivot tables. I just created one and it looks like it
has
all kinds of potential. I dropped a couple columns in the data field in
the
wizard. Then under field settings it lets me pick sum or count etc. I
want
a custome formula here. Like a SumIf tied to a value in another cell some
place else.
