    Pivot table last year comparison

    Hi all,

    Thanks in advance for your time reading through my query.

    I'm trying to make a comparative table from last year, month to month and country by country in a pivot table, but I can't do the format right. basically what I want is Last year above the current year and below a difference between both, instead of the sum of both years.

    I have attached an image just in case it makes it easier to understand. I'm trying to put the row with the dot, where the arrow shows.

    Has anyone got an idea on how to do it? Or should I use a simple table as I have been doing all this time?

    Thanks Screenshot (3)_LI.jpg

    It sounds like you might be able to do this with some helper columns. We'd have to see the how the data are organized.

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    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.

    Thanks a lot avk, that definetly works as I want, but the format is not what I was looking for, I would prefer the months to be columns and the the years under the countries, with the total difference right below. I presume that's not going to be possible?
