    Adding a column to a pivot table

    Is it possible to add an additional column in a pivottable that has a formula based on data in the pivottable and that will get refreshed as the pivot table data gets updated.

    For example in the attached picture, I want to make a column after "grand total" that has sum of "a" and "b" as a percentage of total, sum of "a" and "c" as a percentage of total and various other combinations.

    I have tried just adding a regular formula, but this does not get updated as the amount of data changes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    as you posted a jpg I couldn't send you a working example
    Do the follwoing ( this is with XL2003) :
    open the pivot tabel toolbar
    click on pivot table
    select " formulas"
    select " calculated fields"
    follow the wizard to create the desired functions
    adapt the way data is shown " %of, etc..) as usual.

    You will also fond lots of info at :http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot10.html

    thanks, but im not sure if that will apply to my example. I have attached the spreadsheet. The column next to grand total is what i am trying to achieve, but i cant work out what the formula would be if i were to create a new field.
