    Calculating Variances (Value and Percent) in Pivot (not using power pivot) - possible?

    I have financial data that I need to show variances against a number of dimensions. I need this in pivot so that I can use filters to create automatic views for different audiences (e.g. Divisions and Heads of Areas).

    In the pivot there are roll ups, so example income as a level with sub level of a number of income types (e.g. recurring, project, etc).

    I have actual data for "Month Actual", "Original Budget for the Month", "Revised Forecast for the Month". I then need calculated columns (to be in the same pivot table), that calculates values for: Actual - Budget, Actual - Forecast and then those value as a % change (so (Actual - Budget)/Budget and (Actual - Forecast)/Forecast.

    I am struggling to get this to work on each level (so income and the lower levels) as well as to get the % to calculate properly.

    Please advise if these is a solution for this in pivot or if only achievable in power pivot, and if so, how?

    HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK:

    Fast answers need clear examples. Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. Just before posting, scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.
