    Hi
    Can someone explain why I seem to be getting incorrect percentages in my pivot table.

    I've made some very small tables and then worked out what I think I should get back,
    I've attached these showing working out , so I could well have made an error there ?

    I haven't formatted the numbers as percentages as I thought it might be due to rounding,
    The two measure is question are Pcent Overall Sales and Overall M .

    Richard.

    Yes , but the results I was getting weren't incorrect, when I was checking one result manually to see if it was the same as what the pivot table was returning I was overlooking part of the calculation.
    So I don't really have anything to share apart from the fact that I can't add up.

    Then you should have said so.

    In future do NOT remove any part of the thread - simply state what you have found and mark it as solved.

    Thanks.
