    Unhappy Calculated field in pivot table not using cumulative totals from pivot?

    I have a pivot table which I have set to show cumulative figures (running total in). I am then inserting a calculated field to show an additional column on the end of the pivot. However the sum in the calculated field is using the original figure in the pivot and not the cumulative figure (running total figure) I have put on the columns in the pivot, therefore the calculated field column has incorrect figures in.

    How do I get the calculated field to use the cumulative totals for each field?

    Hi,

    You can't do that with a calculated field. You would need to use Power Pivot and a measure, if you have it available to you. As an alternative you could simply perform the calculation outside the pivot table.
