Calculated field in Pivot Table
I have a dataset like the one below (not sure if formatting will come
out right in the posting). The example below is just a simplication of my actual dataset. Group Series Status A A1 Open A A2 Open A A3 Unknown A A9 Closed A A10 Open B B1 Closed B B4 Closed B B5 Closed B B6 Closed C C1 Unknown D D1 Closed D D2 Closed E E1 Open E E2 Open What I want to do is count how many Groups fall into the status Open bucket, how many into Closed, etc. Now because Group A has a Series in each of the three possible Statuses, it falls into all three buckets. Group E, on the other hand, only falls into one. If I pull Status into a Pivot as a Column Field and then do a Count of Group, the values will actually represent the number of Series in a given Status because the value A appears in the dataset once for each corresponding Series in that Group. Have I lost you yet? My hypothesis is that there is a creative way to use calculated fields in a pivot to get it to show that there are 2 groups showing Open, 2 showing Unknown, and 3 showing Closed. I already know I could arrange the pivot in such a way that =COUNTA( ) in the adjacent cells would give me the same thing, but I'm looking for a way of doing it in the pivot for reason not worth wasting any more space on. THANK IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP! |
