Default How to ignore a column of numbers in Grand Total for rows

Hi,

My pivot table has three "amount" columns for various products representing
1) 2012 sales
2) 2013 sales
3) 2012 collections

Product Category Amount
Bananas Sold 2012 $9,861.00
Grapes Sold 2013 $5,109.00
Nectars Paid 2012 $(3,350.00)
Bananas Sold 2012 $1,817.00
Oranges Sold 2013 $4,355.00
Pears Paid 2012 $(4,821.00)
Plums Sold 2012 $4,433.00
.....

The pivot table looks like this:

Sum of Amount Category
Product Sold 2012 Paid 2012 Sold 2013 Grand Total-Unpaid 2012
Apples 18,958 -17,958 7,440 1,000
.....

and the grand total includes 2013 sales.

I would like to keep 2013 sales in the pivot table, but exclude them from the Grand Total, which I would then rename as "Unpaid (overpaid) 2012."

So, in this example, I would like my grand total column to be 1,000, instead of the calculated amount 8,440.

Thanks,
MHL
