Excel 20

Hi,
question on how to use Calculated field in Pivot tables.

simple sheet in columns across, Revenue, COGS, Gross Margin and GM% by Sales order numbers.

ORDER REV COGS GM GM%
ABCD 100 75 25 25.0%

Each sales order is made up of multiple line items with different margins and GM%.

I am using the GM% to display Average of GM but i don't think this is arithmetically correct.

I want the calculated field to be the overall sales order GM%.

Many thanks
Jason

Hi Jason

Thanks for getting in touch. I wasn't quite sure what you meant by "Average of GM" but I've enclosed a suggestion in an attached file.

It hasn't used a calculated field, but instead asking the PivotTable to render the value as a percentage instead of its number.

Have a look and see if this is any closer to what you were after.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Brighten up your Excel 2010 Spreadsheet by changing the colours of the gridlines

Excel 2010 allows you to change the colour of grid lines instead of keeping them in boring black.

Select the File tab on the Ribbon, click Options, click Advanced, scroll down to ''Display options for this worksheet.'' Next to ''Gridline colour,'' choose your favourite colour, then once you've done this, click OK. Easy!
