Pivot table - deducting sub-totals of income and expenditure
In Excel 2007, I use pivot tables to analyse income and expenditure.
I would like to be able to deduct the expenditure from the income, but Excel seems to only provide an addition for Grand Totals, not the ability to deduct. Any suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks. |

Hi,
Yes you are correct, what you can do is to have another column in your file with the difference and then you can include it in the Pivot table hope this helps "DRW" wrote: In Excel 2007, I use pivot tables to analyse income and expenditure.

Thanks for the suggestion.
However, I don't think that would do it. If the income is sales invoices and the expenditure purchase invoices, then they don't necessarily match up individually - they only match up when aggregated.

Hi
I would have a second Values column in my source table. Presumably, you have some way of identifying purchase rows from income rows. Let's assume that column C contains a an I for Income or P for Purchase. Let's also assume the existing Value column is column F so in the new Values column (Value2) =IF(C2="P",F2*-1,F2) Copy down Extend your PT source to contain this new Value2 column, and drag that to the data area in place of the existing Value column. -- Regards Roger Govier "DRW" wrote in message ...

Amazingly simple when you think about it!
Many thanks, Roger. Might it also be great if Excel did allow deductions as well as Sum?? "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi I would have a second Values column in my source table.
