Default Pls Hlp - Pivot Table or DSum???

Dee

How about putting Category and budget into the data and use a page for each
client? Drag the client field to the top left of the Pivot Design View

Hi,

I have one data list that includes name of client, city (could be multiple),
Category, and Budget.

I have created a pivot table that displays my totals per client with
breakdown of information that I need, including sub-totals for each client.

Problem: I have another "report' that includes total Budget per client.

I have tried using DSUM on both the original data table and also on the
pivot table, but need to keep referencing the same titles and then changing
criteria for each client, so very long and tedious.

I tried to use a SUMIF that referenced the pivot table instead, but to be
effective, would have to refer to the Subtotals ONLY. If I try to name only
subtotals, it doesn't seem to work. I hide the details, select the subtotals
and name them, but, of course, this doesn't work when details are redisplayed.

Question 1:
Which is the best method.

Question 2:
How can I name only subtotals in a pivot table

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
