Thread: Calculated field in Pivot help

    Calculated field in Pivot help

    Hi,
    I have data like below

    Colm A - Store Number
    Colm B - Region
    Colm C - This Week Sales
    Colm D - Last Week Sales

    I am creating a pivot table to get sales by Region and by Store so I dragged Region & Store in my row fields, Both TY & LY in value fields.

    now i wanted the variance between this week and last week without adding a column in my raw data so i added a calcualted field called Variance (This week Sales - Last Week Sales) this is also working fine.
    now i wanted the variance to be divided by Last week total sales. how do i do this in pivot? it this is not possible, can someone help me with the logic so that i can the raw data in such a way that i get this result in pivot

    Regards
    Arvind

    Can you create another Calculated field called


    Variance% = (This week Sales - Last Week Sales) / Last Week Sales

    this one will work, but i wanted like Variance% = (This week Sales - Last Week Sales) / toal( Last Week Sales ) this should be the value of Grand Total of last Week sales in pivot
