Default calculated fields - change field settings

You're welcome. There's no way to change the setting. Depending on what
the calculated field does, perhaps you could add a field in the source
data that does a similar calculation, then add that to the pivot table,
and show the average.

Hi Debra,

Thanks for your answer!

Is there any way to change this setting from SUM to AVERAGE?

It seems to me to be a limitation on the scope of calculated fields.


Cheers,
FN

You can't change the summary function for a calculated field in a pivot
table. Sum is the only function available.

Hi!
on a calculated field I've just created, the SUM settings appears by default.
As I wish to calculate AVERAGE, how can I change from SUM to AVERAGE?
From the context menu of my calculated field column I select FIEL SETTINGS,
and a small dialog box opens with several options: SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, etc.

But I can't change/choose none.

Is there a way to change from SUM to AVERAGE?
