Removing (Hiding) 1 of 4 Pivot Table Sub Total Values

[Moosehead]

•I am building a report in Excel 2010 that uses external data and has multiple pivot tables created from that data.
•My pivot tables each have a sub total field.
•Each of the subtotal fields are aggregating 4 different values.
•One of the value fields is $/hr and is therefore not suitable for aggregation.
•I can't find a way to remove the subtotal on this field. If I make it a row label instead of a value I loose the values.
•The data is dynamic and changing with refresh so I can't just delete or reformat the values.
•Simplied version looks like this:

Resource--------Resource Type------Project--------------Bill Rate ($/Hr)------------- Total Effort (Hrs)----------Cost ($)

Jackson---------Internal---------------Aba Prj--------------100---------------------------76----------------------------760

Jackson---------Internal---------------Baba Prj------------100---------------------------42----------------------------420

Jackson---------Internal---------------Caba Prj------------100---------------------------81----------------------------810

Jackson Sub Total--------------------------------------------300-------------------------199-------------------------1,990



The 300 number in bold red is what I need to hide or delete. This is dynamic data that will change numbers of rows, etc. up refresh.

THANKS!

I reckon you could use conditional formatting to apply a custom numberformat of ;;; to the BillRate cells where the first column contains the word 'total' -assuming the first column is always the same field.

This works. Thank you!

FYI--when I went to implement this solution I found that if you put the focus in one of the subtotal level fiels there is an option that shows up in Conditional Formatting that allows you to apply your conditional formatting to just those cells. You don't have to check the value of column 1 in this case.
