Calculating fields in pivot tables
Can anyone help me. I have used pivot tables a bit, but I am trying to get to grips with them a bit more and I have hit a stumbling block. I have a set of data which has two columns, one for reference which is a unique job number, one for customer where numourous jobs can be for each customer and a total profit for each job. The pivot table I have built shows the total profit for each customer and the number of jobs (using a count on reference) per customer. What I want to do is enter a calculated field which divides the total profit for the customer by the number of jobs to give me an average job profit for each customer. I have tried =Sum('Gross Profit')/Count('Job Ref') but that just returns the gross profit by customer number. Can anyone help?

Calculating fields in pivot tables
Suggest you do this :
Select your table and creat a pivot table. Drag customer field to the row field area Drag the gross profit field to the data field area 3 times. You will see the data field sum of gross profit 2 and 3. Right click on these fields and choose field settings Change the settings in "count of gross profit" for #2 and "average of gross profit" for # 3. The drag the grey field Data to the total column. You will now get something that looks like this : Data Customer Sum of Gross Profit Count of Gross Profit2 Average of Gross Profit2 Jan 1357 3 452.3333333 Piet 1011 2 505.5 Grand Total 2368 5 473.6 HTH Hans "kosciosco" wrote: Can anyone help me.
