Pivot Tables - get a total different than the summarize field sett
I have a table with region, leaders (rows), points per leader (value), and
date (column). I want to get the average number of points per region per day. If I summarize the data using sum, I get the total number of points, not the average. If I summarize the data using average, I get the average number of points per person per day, not the average numer of points of the region per day. What need is to divide the total number of points of each region, each day, by the number of persons that actually get points that day. Any ideas? |

You may have to add a helper column and do the calculation in that column.
Pivot Tables are great, but sometimes you are restricted in how you can manage your data. Although, if you add in more data, you can manage that in the Pivot Table. -- Ryan--- If this information was helpful, please indicate this by clicking ''Yes''.
