Default Median in pivot tables

Is it still the case where the median formula can not be used in pivot
tables. If this can be done, how do I add it?

Thanks,

Default Median in pivot tables

You can use several formulae within the pivot function. Information is
available in Excel Help (reproduced below)....keywords "pivot median" in the
help box should find the source. Hope this helps.

Change how PivotTable or PivotChart data is summarized

In a PivotTable report, click the data field or a cell in the data area.
For a PivotChart report, work in the associated PivotTable report.

On the PivotTable toolbar, click Field Settings .
In the Summarize by box, click the summary function you want to use.
For some types of source data, and for calculated fields and fields with
calculated items, you can't change the summary function.

If you want to use a custom calculation, click Options, click the
calculation you want in the Show data as list, and then select a Base field
and Base item, if these options are available for the calculation you chose,
to provide the data for the calculation. The base field should not be the
same one you chose in step 1.
Note Setting Show data as to Normal turns off custom calculation.

If the report has multiple data fields, repeat these steps for each one that
you want to change.
If your source data allows you to change the summary function, you can use
more than one summary method for the same field. Drag the field from the
PivotTable Field List window to the data area a second time, and then repeat
the steps above for the second instance of the field
