Default Pivot table average

Hi,
I have a datasheet with many pivot tables that I use to analyse data.
In the datasheet each row has a "Character", "Brand" and a number of "SKU's"
as well as other data such as "Retailer", "Store" and "Date".
Everything works fine, BUT...

I want to calculate the average number of SKU's for a given "Brand" by
"Retailer"

For example, if I use 'Sum of SKU' I get an amount of 15 for "Rods City
Store" and 10 for "Rods East Mall" ("Rods" being the Retailer and "Rods City
Store" being a Store). That's fine.
But if I use 'Average of SKU' I get numbers 1.667 and 2 respectively.

What I want is an average for "Rods" of 12.5.

I could use a calculated field, but the nature of the pivot table means that
the number of columns changes, so I'm not sure how to write the formula.

Also, it would help if anyone can explai where those low averages are coming
from. Is it perhaps an average per character even though that is not the
criteria used in the pivot?

Thanks,

Graeme
