Pivot Table Help
You can't change the default settings for the data fields. If a field
contains blank cells, or cells with text, it will default to COUNT. Otherwise, it will SUM.

I don't think you can.
If there are any non-numeric entries in that field, excel will use Count. This includes text and empty cells. In fact, Debra Dalgleish shares a pivottable addin that you may want to try: http://contextures.com/xlPivotAddIn.html And this is from the instructions page: http://contextures.com/xlPivotAddIn02.html#DataFields LB wrote: How do I change my default setting from "count" to "sum" so when I create new pivot tables and won't have to keep changing each individual field?? -- Dave Peterson |
