Hi,

If you are trying to add a calculated field to the pivot table I'd add one
that is the same as your 'sales'. Then in your field settings pick 'Options',
change show data as % Difference From, change base field to your time period
(month) & select 'previous' as your base item ... and hopefully you get
something like you need.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi I am creating a Pivot Table from a large sheet brought in from Great
Plains. When I have the Pivot finished I want to use a formula to compare
two sales figures over two dates and maybe get the % difference.

Month 1/1/06 2/1/06

Sales 65200 65320

I am trying to incorporate a formula - = c5-c4/c4 but it's not working??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
