Default Custom Formula in Pivot Table Row

Hello all,

I use Pivot Tables (Excel 2003) to create Profit & Loss statements.
I would like to insert a custom formula to calculate 1) Gross Profit
and 2) Gross Profit %.

My pivot tables look something like this:

Acc Type Account Budget Actual Variance
Sales 5001 | 10000 12000 2000
5002 | 5000 4000 -1000
5003 | 2000 2500 500
-------------------------------------------------
Sales Total 17000 18500 1500
-------------------------------------------------
COS 6001 | 8000 8500 500
6002 | 2000 1500 -500
6003 | 500 1200 700
-------------------------------------------------
COS Total 10500 11200 700
-------------------------------------------------
Grand Total 27500 29700 2200


What I want to do is to rename the "Grand Total" row to "Gross
Profit".
Then, I want this row to subtract COS Total from Sales Total (for each
column).
I don't want to use a formula row outside of the pivot-table.

Is this possible?

Default Custom Formula in Pivot Table Row

Without seeing your database and pivot table it would be difficult to help
you.

However you can research "calculated fields" and "calculated items" in the
Excel help files.

hope this helps.
