    Sum of Sales - Refunds in pivot table (both positive values), How to?

    I'm new to pivot tables but have manage to get it working almost as i want it but have ran wall right now. It feels like it should be very easy to fix but i just don't know how to do it.

    The total value should be Sales minus the Refunds but right now it adds Sales + Refunds, giving a wrong total value. The refund value i take is a positive value.

    Is there some easy way to make this work? It should show 8997 as total.

    Added file further down.

    Sorry I meant a worksheet ( or file ) . Isn't this sensitive data ?
    Can you by any means make the amounts for your Refunds negative in the source data? Or add a helper column where this is implemented, then use this column for the amounts.

    Not sensitive, its just names and amount on there orders.

    Sure i could add a '-' infront of all refunds but i would like all this to be done automatically in some way, it would be so much extra work to add - all the time and sometime i might miss it.

    helper column where this is implemented << i dont understand, more info please.

    Came up with a sulotion. Made a new colum that converted the fields.

    =IF([@TransactionType] = "Sale"; [@Amount]; -[@Amount])
