    Exclamation Creating a formula in a pivot table while using another calculated item in the pivot

    I am trying to create another column in my pivot table that calculates the percentage of one value over another. The denominator is sum function and nominator is count function.


    # of Submittals OA BG check Hires %of OA
    372 14 79 36
    241 12 66 32


    This is some data from my pivot table. The values under the # of submittals is count of submittals and value in the OA column is sum of OA. I am trying to make a formula in the pivot to divide the value in the OA column by # of submittals.
    So, I want =14/372 is 4% under the % of OA column.

    Help is very much appreciated

    In ver 2010, so I assume similar in 2013, you would:
    • go to the 'Options' tab, 'Calculations' pane, 'Fields, Items and Sets' icon.
    • Choose 'Calculated Field'.
    • Give it the name '% of OA' and the Formula
      Please Login or Register  to view this content.
      by inserting 'OA' and '# of Submittals' from the 'Fields' selection pane.


    Let me know if you have any questions.
