Answer: How to sum two columns in a pivot table
Hi Paul,
To sum two columns in a pivot table, you can follow these steps:
- First, make sure that your pivot table is set up with the columns you want to sum. In your case, you should have a column for imports and a column for exports.
- Next, click on any cell within the pivot table to activate the PivotTable Tools contextual tab.
- From the PivotTable Tools contextual tab, click on the "Design" tab.
- Within the "Design" tab, click on the "Grand Totals" button and select "On for Rows and Columns".
- Now, right-click on any cell within the pivot table and select "Value Field Settings".
- In the "Value Field Settings" dialog box, select "Sum" as the calculation type.
- In the "Name" field, enter a name for the new column that will show the sum of the import and export columns. For example, you could call it "Total".
- In the "Formula" field, enter the formula that will sum the import and export columns. In your case, the formula would be
Formula:
"=SUM(Import, Export)"
. - Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
- You should now see a new column in your pivot table that shows the sum of the import and export columns for each product.
