apply default "summarize by" for each pivot table field
 

Is there a way I can apply a different default 'summarize by' value for my
pivot table fields? as of now, it defaults to 'count' and i need it to be
'count nums'. thanks

As answered in microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions:

You can't change the default settings for the data fields. If a field
contains blank cells, or cells with text, it will default to COUNT.
Otherwise, it will SUM.

There's a feature that changes all the data fields to SUM, in my pivot
table add-in, that you can download he

What field do you have in the data area, and what do you want it to count?
