    A pivot table field calculated using other field values as fields?

    Hi,

    I need to calculate the attendance rate of students as a % of the total number of hours offered in a course. Specifically:

    At = 100 - Ha/Ho*100

    where
    At = Attendance rate (as a %)
    Ha = Hours absent
    Ho = Hours offered

    Currently, 'Attendance' is coded as 0 (absent), 1 (present) or tba (to be assessed). In a pivot table, I have 'Student ID' in rows, 'Attendance' in columns, and 'Count of Attendance' as values. So the pivot table looks like this:

    Student ID 0 1 tba
    141002 56 100 198
    141012 47 109 198
    141013 38 118 198

    When I go to calculated field, the only fields available are the fields from the pivot table source data eg Student ID; Attendance. Is it possible to use the values of 'Attendance' as fields, in order to calculate the new field of 'Attendance Rate', or something to that effect?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Yes, it's possible to add a calculated field for the "Attendance %". Can you please post a sample template of your file in excel format (without any confidential info)?

    Hi,

    I have created a pivot table in the attached file after adding few helper columns to split the attendance. See if this suits your requirement.

    chrisf78 reported that there was inadvertently private data in the file, which was propagated by cbatrody's response. I have taken cbatrody's version and cleaned up data, using generic values for student ID, subject, and staff.

    chrisf78, if this still doesn't address your concerns please report this post and we will just delete all instances of the file completely.
