    Unhappy Pivot Calculated Field doesnt help

    I have a pivot table with my capex and opex hours in the columns with the names of project managers in the rows. the Capex and Opex hours are also summed into a column for a monthly total(see pic).

    What I need is an extra column at the end of each month that shows the capitalization rate which is just CAPEX/MONTHLY TOTAL in % however I can not figure out at all how to do this. none of the %Of options work to do this what is wrong?

    Any help is appreciated

    EDIT: I understand a sample worksheet would help but it would take an immense amount of time to create one with non sensitive info that would help so the pic is all I can provide.

    Re: Pivot Calculated Field doesnt help

    "I get by with the help of my friends." In this case, a helper column. Quite often pivot table issues can be solved with the addition of a helper column to the source data.

    In this case, C - Hours that determines how many hours on a row of data are Capex (it's either all or nothing) =IF([@Type]="Capex",[@Hours],0)

    Then you can use this in a calculated formula: = C - Hours / Hours to get the ration. It's a bit funky in that type capex will always be 100% and type not-capex will always be zero, but the total column will be the ratio you want. I cant figure out a way to hide Sum of C-Rate in columns M & N. The data are correct, it's just that it doesn't tell us anything we don't already know. It doesn't look quite as bad if you move Type from columns to rows.

    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.
