Default Excel 2002 Pivot Table: Can I customize formulas ?

Dear Sir,

At present I know that the last column of the Pivot Table is the Sum of the
previous column by default.

Alternatively the user can select count , variance etc instead of the sum
from the menu to get the answer.

If I would like to use the Pivot Table in the following way, may I know if
it is possible to input the formula for the last column as illustrated below?

Example 1

Data Data
Account Source A Source B Difference
K123 2000 1800 200
P214
T114
Difference = Source A - Source B



Example 2

Debtor 30 days 60 days Target Collection
P587 2000 5000 3750
C321
U206
Target debt collection = (25% X 30 days) + (65% X 60days)


Example 3

Product Plant A Plant B Plant C Plant A %
Group Unit Unit Unit
T588 3500 2500 4600 33%
Q249
X125
Plant A% = Plant A /(Plant A+B+C) X 100%


At present I copy the Pivot Table and past it to another worksheet and
manipulate the figure manually. I do not have any problem with that, however
this method does not allow the data to be automatically updated by refresh
when the raw data are updated.


Thanks

Low
