Default Pivot Table Help

Does anyone know how to show one column data as a percentage of another
column. I have two set of data in the pivot table and I would like one
set of data to devided into the other set of data to get a %. Is this
possible using a pivot table? I need to use the pivot table as I am
manipulating a large amount of data.

Thanks
Andrew

Default Pivot Table Help

Hi

From the PT toolbar, invoke the Wizard and select Layout.
Double click on the data field and the select Options, where you will
find a range of options for calculating percentages.

If none of these suit your purpose, again from the PT Toolbar, from the
dropdown select FormulaCalculated Filed and set up a new field giving
it the one set of data divided by the other, and set format to Percent.
