    Excel Pivot "% of" sub-total is misleading - how to change

    Any way to get the subtotals per year to show 100%? They add up to 100% but display as a % of the total of all 3 years.

    I'm trying to avoid copy/pasting values/formats and would like to achieve this in the pivot if possible. Or I'd like to hide just this sub-total, not the whole row.

    Hi, Try this

    Click and right click on the value field column

    Go to value field setting
    Click show value as tab
    Select % of parent row total

    I guess this should help.
