Default PivotTables and xlPercentOfTotal

so Hi All
Is it possible to have pivottable which has a Grand Total column and in the
column to the right have the same numbers shown as percentages. All in one
pivottable. So in effect there are 2 Grand Total Columns, 1 with numbers and
the other with percentages. I can only do currently using a 2nd pivottable.

If its possible then how?

TIA
johnb

Hi Tom
Thank you for the prompt response. Having 2 pt's side by side is a pain but
who said keeping the user happy was barrel of fun anyway

You can do this within a pivot as follows: dbl click on your data item in
wizard to see the pivot field popup screen then in the "show data as" drop
down select "% of total", click ok all the way out and your % of total colum
will be in your pivot table.

Hope this helps.

Hi KD
Thank you for your comments but Toms right. what I have is 12 sets of
monthly numbers with a grand total. What the user wants to see is Jan to Dec
+ Grand Total in numbers + a col to right of Grand Totals in % of the Grand
Total col only.

using 2 PTs is easy. But when the user srinks the main PT to say 4 months
the % PT does not follow suit and its look a mess.

Cheers Guys
