Fred is suggesting a calculated field within the pivot table:

Select a cell in the pivot table
On the Pivot table toolbar, click PivotTableFormulasCalculated Field
Type a name for the field, e.g. PctShipped
Enter the formula, e.g.: =Shipped/Ordered
Click OK

Understood, but I'm trying to get the calculation to work within the pivot
table set up. I don't want to maintain a calculated field for %. It
prevents me from using the Chart Wizard capabilities for a pivot table. It
also means that as new rows of data are added (or old ones removed), I need
to keep maintaining the % calculation fields. I thought there might be a
way of setting it up using the "Options" button for a selected data element
within the pivot table Layout but I can't seem to get it to work.

Sure. Just create a calculated field of =shipped/ordered and format as
percent

I'm summing several columns of data in a pivot table with multiple rows.
Is
it possible to set up the pivot table to also display the division of 2
cells
of data in the same row. I want to view the summed values and also see
the %
value in a separate column. Is it possible to get the % Shipped
calucalted
as part of the pivot table set up in the example below?

Sales Team Sales Ordered Sales Shipped % Shipped
Salesperson 1 $30,000 $25,000 83.3%
Salesperson 2 $15,000 $10,000 66.7%
Salesperson 3 $50,000 $35,000 70.0%

Thanks
Dan
