Default Custom Calculations

I am trying to insert a calulated item as a %. Columns A includes forecast
and actual values. I want the clauculated item to be % of forecast to actual.
I just relized I am getting a message that says "calculated items do not work
with custom subtotals" I swear it worked once and kept bombing excel.

What calculation are you creating? Maybe it's something that can be
calculated in the source table, then added as a normal field in the
pivot table.

I have approx 8000 rows of information with approx 30 columns. I want to add
a custom calculation which I was able to to at first but everytime I refresh
the pivot it bombs out & closes. I am assuming it the file is to large. Is
there a way to fix this?
