Hi,

Drag column 2 to the pivot once again (it should appear two times in the
data area of the pivot). Right click on any one and then go to Value
fields settings Show as % of column

I have a pivot table I want to do percentage of total on:

Column 1 Column2
Ice Cream 32
Cake 50
Total 82

I want to add a third column that says 32 is 39% of the total 82. And 50
is
61% of the total. The system should be able to calculate this.
I tried to do a search but couldn't get anything to come back.
