Using a Pivot Table Calculated Field to get a Unique Count
I am using a Pivot Table to view data from a very large database. The Pivot
Table has the following fields: Customer, Quarter and Sales. There are many duplicate Customer sales in the database. I would like to create a Pivot Table that calculates the # of unique customers in each quarter. If I use the Pivot Table Count function it double counts all of the duplicate Customer entries. Can I create a Calculated Field that accomplishes this? I have tried using this formula that I found in a previous string, €ś=SUM(IF(LEN(Sheet1!A2:A100)0,1/COUNTIF(Sheet1!A2:A100,Sheet1!A2:A100)))€ť, but since I am using it in a Pivot Table calculated field I used the following format: €ś=SUM(IF(LEN(Customer)0,1/COUNTIF(Customer, Customer)))€ť. Where €śCustomer€ť is inserted from the Pivot Table field list. I get a €śThe function contains an error€ť message. Can you help me understand what I am doing wrong? Thanks! -- Mike Struckman |
