Pivot table filed defaults
A client's pivot table always gives 'count' in the data area even on a
numeric field. Is there any way to set the default to always show 'sum'? i thought this was the default. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks Diane |

Pivot table filed defaults
Here is the answer to this question from Debra Dalgleish's excellent
Contextures site (http://www.contextures.com/xlfaqPivot.html#DefaultSUM): Can I change the default summary function for data from COUNT to SUM? 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 Hope this helps, Hutch "DianeG" wrote: A client's pivot table always gives 'count' in the data area even on a numeric field.
