    Adding additional field to pivot table (but not for each column)

    Good Morning,

    I am currently using a pivot table to aggregate some labour-hour figures for various work centres, based on an imported list of operations being performed at those work centres.

    These figures are generated by summing the work-hours for each work centre, grouped by job number.

    For instance, job number 12345 might have:
    12345 - clad - 12 hours
    12345 - clad - 10 hours
    12345 - CNC - 10 hours
    12345 - Inspection - 10 hours

    Which would be grouped into 12345 - clad = 22, CNC=10, Insp=10, Total = 42

    However, what we want to do is add an extra column for the sales order value to this table.

    The SO Val is the same for all jobs listed under 12345 - so using the max/average/min aggregate on the "value" field gives you the right value.

    However, when I try to add this in, it always adds either an extra column per work centre, as can be seen here: note I have changed the "Total" value to a "count" field to obfuscate the actual cost of jobs

    What I want to do is display this value at the end of each line, beside the "grand total" column.




    Any ideas how I might go about adding that last column in (preferably without using PowerPivot)

    Many thanks in anticipation!

    Without Power Pivot, I think your only option is hiding columns.

    Oh-ho! Hiding the extras and just using the total row may be enough! On the other hand, it seems pretty fragile; I might need to just bite the bullet and use Power-Pivot.

    Oh well - thanks anyway! I might be able to get away with just using hidden columns

    --EDIT--

    The hidden-column method will have to do - it seems to give the results I'm after - though it's certainly not ideal! Just a pity there's not an easy way of doing it outside of powerpivot!

    Thanks for the help
