Pivot Table Grandtotals. All or nothing?
I asked this question befo when selecting Column Grand Totals is it
possible to restrict them to the columns that make sense? I have columns for volumes of some 50 products, unit prices for each and sales values. Only the Sales Value Grand Total has any meaning but I am stuck with a sum of all the unit prices and all the volumes which are not only meaningless, they are also confusing. |

Pivot Table Grandtotals. All or nothing?
Hi
Regrettably, the answer is no. How is your report laid out? You say you have volumes of some 50 products, unit prices for each and sales values Do you mean that there are 150 columns across the page or are the products going down the rows with 3 columns across? I am just wondering whether you could have your 3 values set out under each other, so that the summation across the columns would all be applicable to the same units. Otherwise, I think you will have to switch off Grand Totals and create your own Total to the side of the PT using the GetPivotData formulae. -- Regards Roger Govier "KG" wrote in message ...

I was afraid so, because I looked everywhere for an option to switch off the
Grand Total selectively. The Products are listed on rows, one below the other, and there are 9 columns 3 years x Quantity x Price x Sales Value. Grand Totals only make sense for the last column.

Hi
Then with the Grand Totals, that would make 12 columns plus the column with Product making 13 in all You could just hide columns 11 and 12. Otherwise, it's a question of creating your own Grand Total, picking up data from columns 4, 7 and 10. -- Regards Roger Govier "KG" wrote in message ...

I hid the columns showing grand totals across the rows because they don't
have much use. All I need for my report is a column total for $ sales value for each of the three years but, unfortunately, Excel also sums up unit prices and the volumes of 50 different products which are meaningless.

Hi
Then just turn off Grand Total by Column, and use a formula below the PT for your Totals Since the report length will remain constant for your 50 products, you could just use something like =SUM(D5:D54) in cell D55 Repeat for columns G and J. -- Regards Roger Govier "KG" wrote in message ...

MIt works great! And why shouldn't it? I got a mental block and was thinking
in terms of PT calculated fields, forgetting that I was on Excel and that a simple SUM formula would do the trick! Thanks for your patience!

Just when I thought I was home free, I cycled through a number of customers
(who are selected from the "Page" drop-down list) and a few of them only have 1 or 2 years of activity. It means that, in those cases, columns H,I, J (where I have =SUM formula) are unpopulated and the Grand Totals appear as zero! :-(( "Roger Govier" wrote: No problem, glad to have been of sum help.
