Median in pivot tables
The Median function isn't available to summarize Pivot Table fields.

Median in pivot tables
Is there another way to easily show a list of medians for the applicable jobs
and then incorporate it in to the pivot table or at least show it as a stand alone statistic? "Debra Dalgleish" wrote: The Median function isn't available to summarize Pivot Table fields.

Median in pivot tables
Hi,
Yes, you may be able to do it by incorpating the calculation into your data area for example: Suppose you have the Job in column A and the Base Pay in column B of your source range, then you can add the following array formula to column C of the data: =MEDIAN(IF(A2:A1000=A4,B2:B1000,"")) to make this an array you press Shift+Ctrl+Enter to enter it. Copy this all the way down to the bottom of your data. Title this column Medium in C1. Now create a pivot table and put the Job in the row area and the Median into the Data area. Finally, change the calculation for the Median from Sum to Average. Now the down side of this approach is that you can't rearrange your pivot table and expect to get reasonable results. A second alternative is to do it all by forrmulas outside the pivot table but referencing the pivot table. The basic idea is to use a formula like the one above or a more complex variation of it. More detail and I could help you more. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
