Hi,
I have a pivot table with three columns:
1) Month
2) Total Sales
3) Shoes Sales
I want to show the values of the Shoes Sales column as a percentage of the Total Sales column. Can you please guide me on how I do that?
thanks!

Hi, thanks for your reply. However, I already have read the sources that you referred me to, and they do not have answer to my question. I do not want to show the value as a percentage of the same column's total. I want to show it as a percentage of the next column's row value for any particular date.
any ideas? thanks!
To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.
If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.
Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
Hope that helps.

I think you will need to do the calculation in another column of the data table
I was assured that I can do it within the pivot table so probably there is some way..any other suggestions?
