Default I refuse to be let down by the experts

This board has never failed me. Please help make sure this isn't the first
time. Previously posted...

I have two occurences of a sales field in a pivot table. One is total sales,
and the other is percent of total sales (automatically done within field
settings, not calculated item).

I am filtering the percent of sales to show only top 100 items (again,
through field settings, advanced). But I'd like the resulting calculation to
remain percent of total, not just what's shown. How/can I do this?

Hans, thanks so much. I know the part you mentioned. The problem, as you
asked, is that I want the total that the % is calculated on to be the total
of ALL the items, not just the ones that will show up in the top X list. Can
this be done either from that list or some calculated field/item you can
think of?

Thx.

Not sure what your problem is, but the following works fine for me.
I assume you have (for example) Salesperson in the row field, and Total Sales and % of Total Sales in column field.
Activate a cell (salesperson) and choose Sort and Top 10. In the PivotTable Sort and Top 10, right section, tick On (to Top 10
Autoshow) and in the Show field choose Top 100. Finally in the "Using field" field, choose % of Total Sales.

I do not know of any other way than to make that *% of Grandtotal* calculation in the source data (for example to the right of the
current rightmost column, include that column in the data and lay-out your pivot table accordingly.

If I am understanding correctly, you are suggesting a column in raw data that
takes each row, and divides by the total of the whole column of amounts.
Correct?
