Pivot tables - calculated extra columns

hi
if I have a pivot table with the max and min of a data set, how do I add a column showing the variance (range) between the two - so in your training example, the gap between the highest and lowest salaries in a given country or region
thanks

RE: Pivot tables - calculated extra columns

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the forum question.

If you have the Max and Min values in your source table you can add a calculated column with the calculation =Max-Min.

If you in the PivotTable turn a field to return Max or Min, it is not possible to get what you want.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
