Default Calculating a field in pivot tables


Hi everyone, I think this is an impossibility, but thought I would give
it a go:

I have a file which I am importing from a 3rd party into a pivot table
to then analyse.
One of the fields (called: "typecode") includes a 6 character code.
If you dump the whole data into excel and run a =MID(D2,4,2) function
against the value it creates a 2 character code.

Is it possible to run this in a pivot table so I dont need to dump the
file into excel first??
I suspect the answer is no.
Thanks
Love Amy xx
