Averages in Pivot Tables 2003

All,


I have this pivot table with year as a Page, Average of amount as Data, country as Row, and Type as Column.


Type has 2 concepts: C1 and C2. The result is that I am showing averages for C1 and C2 per country.


I need to add the Ratio C1/C2 as a concept. I tried as a calculated item, but Excel displays an error saying that it cannot add a calculated item when there are Averages.


how can I achieve this, preferable not to add a column in the data sheet.?


Rgds,

As you noted remove all the fields from the table area of the Pivot Table

Add a simple Field to the data area Ammount and set it to Sum

Select a C1 or C2 header and then add a Calculated Item (Not a Calculated Field)

Call it Ratio and set the formula to =Sum( C1)/Sum( C2)
 
Hui,


thanks for your reply. Sorry I did not get back to you earlier: I did read your post, but got stucked with work...


Now I am trying to do what you said. I have even created the PT from scratch, and the problem remains....
 
Well, it seems I've found the problem. the name of the field I was trying to add a calculated item to was "Year". I just changed it to "Period", and it worked like a charm, allowing me to add the delta between years, or "periods" now.


hope this helps to anyone else.


Rgds,


Martin
