Thumbs up Answer: Pivot table - value field settings - default?

Yes, there is a way to set the default value field in a pivot table. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Create a new pivot table or open an existing one.
  2. Drag the field you want to use as the default value field to the "Values" area of the pivot table.
  3. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the field name in the "Values" area and select "Value Field Settings".
  4. In the "Value Field Settings" dialog box, select the function you want to use as the default (e.g. SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, etc.).
  5. Click on the "OK" button to save the changes.

Now, every time you add a new field to the "Values" area of the pivot table, it will automatically use the default function you selected in step 4. You won't have to manually change it every time.
