Pivot Table "Difference From" Question
 

I have a table that contains the following sales data:

AccountName ReportingYear Revenue

There are 2 years in the data and account name is repeated in the case of
multiple sales to one customer. I want to display the following in a Pivot
Table:

ReportingYear1 ReportingYear2
Difference
AccountName TotalSales for Y1 TotalSalesforY2
DifferenceofY1fromY2

I can't seem to get all of this in one pivot table. In summary, I need to
show the customer's total for each year side by side and then show the
difference at the right.

Thanks for any assistance.

That sounds like the right answer but I don't see how to do that in my
version of excel. I have 2007.
