My pivot table is summarized by group, then by Actual Headcount and Budget
Headcount. So for example, HR is the first category broken down into 10
heads of budget and 9 heads of actual. The Total line sums the Budget and
Actual total to show 19. I would like the Total line to show the difference
between Budget and Actuals. So instead of the sum of 19, I would like the
pivot table to calculate the delta (Delta would equal 1: Budget of 10 -
Actual of 9). I would like it to do this for each group (HR, Sales, etc.)
Any thoughts?

Hi

If Budget and Actual are Fields (columns in your source data), then from
the PT Toolbar dropdown, select FormulasCalculated Field
Set Name to Delta and Formula to =Actual-Budget
You will now see an additional set of data for the difference.

If Budget and Actual are different items in the same Field (same column)
then from the PT dropdown choose FormulasCalculated Item and proceed as
above
