Custom Calculations
I have approx 8000 rows of information with approx 30 columns. I want to add
a custom calculation which I was able to to at first but everytime I refresh the pivot it bombs out & closes. I am assuming it the file is to large. Is there a way to fix this? |

What calculation are you creating? Maybe it's something that can be
calculated in the source table, then added as a normal field in the pivot table. pivot table drop down values wrote: I have approx 8000 rows of information with approx 30 columns.

Are Forecast and Actual separate fields in the data area?

No they are in one column. I have forecasts and actual in column A called
"Data Source" and in my pivot table I am grouping forecast and actual along the header of the pivot table.

Instead of a calculated item, you could add the amount to the data area
again. Right-click on the heading for the second amount, and choose Field Settings Click the Options button, and for Show Data as, choose % of For Base Field, choose Status For Base Item, choose Forecast, click OK There's an example he http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot10.html This will show columns for Actual and Forecast, and you could manually hide the one you don't want. pivot table drop down values wrote: No they are in one column.

Thanks that works very nicely! As a work around I was inserting the
calculations to the right of the pivot but of course if my users deselected a value or modified in anyway it would screw up the manual calculations. Thanks again for being so responsive.
