    %age Total Showing as a Total of Other %ages

    Hi

    I have a formula in a sheet that shows a %age of one value against another, when I then create a pivot table showing this %age the sub and grand totals add all these %ages together to give a total.

    Is it possible to either:-
    a) show these total as %age of the same calculation in my lookup sheet or
    b) not show this at all

    For example, in the pivot table below I have two lines showing what %age the "Variance" is as a %age of the "Budget", however on the total line it is adding the 31% and the 17% to give 48% but I'd like it to show 26% (£12,897 / £49,628 x 100) or if this isn't possible to not show a total at all for the "Variance %age" column


    Area Code Income Budget Variance Variance %age

    Aberdeen City 001 £41,513 £31,628 £9,886 31%
    Aberdeen City 002 £21,011 £18,000 £3,011 17%
    Totals £62,524 £49,628 £12,897 48%

    Many thanks

    Iain

    Re: %age Total Showing as a Total of Other %ages

    The only way to get the pivot table to show the correct percentages is to calculate them in the pivot table. Used a calculated formula in the pivot table based on the same formula you use in the source data. Otherwise, the pivot table will just give you the sum of the percents.

    The attached workbook shows this: The source data is in A1:D10. Some helper cells, B12:D12 show the calculations for the correct percent.

    In the pivot table is plotted Item, A, B, the percent from the source data and the calculated percent. To make a calculated field click in the pivot table and select from the ribbon Analyze -> Fields, Items & Sets -> Calculated Field

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
