You could add another copy of the value field to the data area, and
change it to show the difference between Actual and Budget. There's an
example here, using the custom calculation Difference From:

I have a spreadsheet with one column for the type of expenditure (budget /

pivot table that shows a column for each type but the row grand total adds
the figures together.

Is it possible to get the Grand Total for the row to take one figure from
the other e.g budget minus actual or actual as a percentage of budget? If I
doe it outside the pivot tbe I can no longer sort by the page field data as
the pivot table rows and the non pivot table rows lose their synchronicity.
