Default Using Subtotal field of a pivot table in a calculation

Hi

I was wondering is it possible to use the subtotal that is generated in a
pivot table as part of a calculated field/item?

Thanks

No, you can't refer to the subtotal amounts in a calculated field or
calculated item. If you describe what you're trying to calculate,
someone may be able to help with a formula outside the pivot table, or a
way to accomplish it in the pivot table.

Hi Debra

Thanks a million, I have the calculation in the main database and it is
working fine. I just wanted to check I wasn't missing something in the pivot
table.

Thanks again.
