Default Weekly average in pivot

Thank's again Roger,

I appreciate your attention to my problem. Unfortunately the average
function always seems to calculate the average of all the underlying data
cells. It's dividing the total by the number of data cells when I'd want to
force number of weeks to be the divider.

Hi Roger,

Let me clarify. I'm looking for the customer's volume per week. For
the week
it's easy, it's just the aggregated sum of all origins. Then I need to
have
the customer's average for the month (and quarter and year). In this
report I
don't care about the origin at all, it's just the way the data is
recorded in
my source database (and the cause of my current problem).

Would it be a solution to use the firdt PT with sum fo volume as
source for
a second PT with avg of the fist PT. Can I define a PT as source for
another
PT?

Hi Max

I don't understand.
With your data, I get a value of 1383.33 for Customer XXX, Q1, Wk3.
This is the Average of 150 from Origin T, 3000 from Origin L and 1000
from Origin A

Perhaps you could explain what you are wanting in more detail.

Thank's Roger,

Unfortunately I wasn't looking for this, it returns the average of
the
individual cells. What I need is an average of the weekly volumes
for
each
month/quarter/year (regardless of origin in the example).

Hi Max

In the PT
Drag Customer to Row area
Drag Q to Row area
Drag Week to Row area
Double click on these fields and set Subtotal to None
Drag Volume to Data area
Double click on Volume and change Sum to Average

I'd neet to get weekly averages in a Pivot Table. The source
data
may
contain
several lines for one week. How can I get AVG weekly
volume/customer/quarter
from this kind of data?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
