    PivotTable to calculate profit %

    Dear All

    I have created a PivotTable to summarise profit margin from sales to various customers. Now, I want to calculate the profit margin % earned but the PivotTable does not allow me to create a Calculated Field "Profit/Sales".

    What can I do?

    In the attached copy of the file a measure has been added to the Table 1 in the Active tab of the Field List.
    The measure name is Profit % and the formula is: =SUM(Table1[Profit])/SUM(Table1[Sales])
    The measure is then dragged into the Values area of the Field List and percentage formatting (0 decimal places) is applied.
