Create a Calculated Field in Your Pivot Table
When someone wants to see an additional field in your Pivot Table – e.g. to show the “Price per Units Sold,” you create a “Calculated Field.” This is a fairly simple process. In this video, Danny will show you how. This is yet another example of how you can use the power of a Pivot Table to present data the way that you – or your audience – want to see it.
Here are the steps to follow in this lesson:
- On the Pivot Table drop-down menu select “Formulas, Calculated Field.”
- In the dialog box, write in a Name for your new Calculated Field.
- Enter the Formula. Use the Fields in your Pivot Table and any operators (+,-,*,/) Click OK.
- Use the Field Settings to change any formatting, etc.
