Default Pivot table problems. Bad ratio.

Hi,
Pivot table problems.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2ep7bwj.jpg


I'm selling by Mail order.
I send mesages.
I receive replies.
Replies give rise to sales.
Sales have dates.
Dates have years.

I having trouble getting the correct Reply Rate = (Replies / messages).
I'm getting the Bad (in red) instead of what I need, the OK (in green).

Messages is fixed (I sent only one batch of messages).
So instead of displaying the Sum of messages I display the Max of messages.

So the Messages display OK in each year column and OK in the total.

Sales / replies gives average sale per reply.
Messages / replies should give the reply rate... but doesn't.

Any help appreciated.
