    Pivot Table Grand Total Percentage Error

    Please help with fixing the error in grand total percentage. The percentage should be 50% ($300-$200)/$200 instead of the generated 225%. Many thanks in advance.

    The sum of % is correct, but not what you need

    Add a calculated field with formula =(Income-Expense)/Expense

    Hi rosehill,

    welcome to the forum.

    See the attached file where I used a calculated filed in pivot table to achieve your desired %.

    Grand Total %.xls

    Re: Pivot Table Grand Total Percentage Error

    Its already added...

    To add this, click on pivot -> go to top ribbon option "ANALYZE"-> "Fields, Items & Sets"->Calculated field.
    click on the drop down on the field "Name"and there you'll see the calculated field and the formula in the next field
