Pivot table to calculate variance showing budget and actual.
Hi,
I know this is rather simple, but I just could not get it right. I have this data: Expenese Type Amt Scenario Staff cost 200 Budget Admin cost 75 Budget Office rent 5000 Budget Staff cost 100 Actual Admin cost 45 Actual Office rent 300 Actual I am able to get the difference using the pivot table "Difference from", but it only showed that single column. I would like my pivot table to show: Expenese Type Budget Actual Variance Staff cost 200 100 100 Admin cost 75 45 30 Office rent 5000 300 4700 Appreciate all guidance and hints. Thanks! |

I have just put up a file for you at:- http://www.pierrefondes.com/ Item number 95 (towards the top of my home page at the time of posting). This appears to give you what you want. If you agree please hit Yes. Thanks. "YY san." wrote: Hi, I know this is rather simple, but I just could not get it right.

Pivot table to calculate variance showing budget and actual.
Hi,
You should convert the items under the Scenario column I.e. Budget and Actual to columns instead. After the restructuring, there would be 4 columns in your source data - Expenses type, Amt, Base and Actual. Now create a pivot from this and then you may write a calculated field -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "YY san." wrote in message ...

I'm trying to do the same thing the person above is. Because my pivots originate from a financial software output and then go through an Access Database, I have Actuals and Budget as two options under one field. Basically I need to do: =sumif(Scenario, "Actual", Sales)-(Scenario, "Budget", Sales). Sumif doesn't seem to work inside the calculated field option and it's near impossible to have Actual and Budget be separate fields, otherwise the response from the 2nd poster would be the solution. I found a way around the Actual Budget problem in Access but I have this problem for finding Gross Margin(Sales-Expenses) and average price(Sales/Units). I may try the same Access solution for Sales-Expenses I did for Actual and Budget but those only work because when it's Actual it's a positive and when it's Budget it's a negative. For Sales/Units I really need to do something in the calculated field.... Thanks in advance for your help!!!! |
