Calcualted Fields in Pivot Tables
Help, I'm going nuts.
I have a challenge that is so far beating me. I have a pivot table that summarises sales values and margins by month and I had no problem in adding a calculated field with a monthly budget figure and charted this quite easily. So far so good. However, I now need to break these numbers down by product groups, but I can't get the calculated budget field to break down by product group - I have tried using an IF statement in the calculated field but it just returns the €˜false value (i.e. if, true, false). Also the total isnt adding up, e.g. the budget part of the table resembles: Month group a group b total Jan 100 100 100 Feb etc. The chart has gone from clear and simple to a techicolour nightmare €“ but Ill worry about that when I have got the pivot table sorted. Any help is much appreciated. Regards, Nigel |

Put you IF statement in your source data e.g. create new fields in you data
source, update your pivot table data source range and then drop them into the pivot table. Hope that helps. regards KM "Nigel Drinkwater" wrote: Help, I'm going nuts.
