Accumulating Values in a Pivot table

Hi all.

Does anybody of you know, how I can show in a Pivot table
accumulated values (example)in each row:

Day Amount Accum. Value
1 50 50
3 75 125
8 105 230
.. .. ..
.. .. ..

and so on.

Maybe someone give me a tip.

Thanx a lot

Regards Kurt

Hi Kurt,
That is one of the big advantages of using Pivot Tables
One place to start would be
Debra Dalgleish's Contextures.com/techtip.html

http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot05.html

but you would of course start at 01 so you don't miss anything
like a much simpler example. This one has Subtotals that can
be changed depending on what is selected -- way beyond the normal.

Add another copy of the Amount field to the pivot table data area
Right-click on the heading for the new field
Choose Field Settings
Click the Options button
From 'Show Data As', select Running Total
For the Base Field, choose Day
Click OK
