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 http://www.contextures.com/xlPivotAddIn.html Pam wrote: 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 -- Debra Dalgleish Contextures http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html |

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