Default Using Calculated Item to add dynamic columns in pivot table

Hi all,
I have a pivot table that has a number of "Items" as rows fields (i.e
monitor, CPU etc) and "Month" fields for column (i.e January, February
etc) and the data is the count of each Item in a given Month. This
table is updated every month with a news months stats.

I need a custom column that would add the last three months count
together and display. I have no need of the Grand Total column but if
that can be used to achieve this, I would be happy. I managed to use a
"Calculated Field" to create the below formula:

='December 2006' +'November 2006' +'October 2006'

This works but only on existing data. Its does not change when a new
column is added. Can anyone show me how the above code can be changed
to only show the sum of the last three months entries?

Thank you in advance
Cheers

Deecrypt
