Pivot table calculated item problems
Hi, Given a set of raw data shaped like this: Cat Item Value -------------------- 1 1 45 1 2 37 1 3 40 2 1 38 2 2 34 2 3 31 3 1 36 3 2 39 3 3 40 ....... I created a pivot table that uses "Cat" as a row field and "Value" as a data field. I then change the summary function for the "Value" field to use "Average". Next, I add the "Value" field as a data field again and this time change the summary function to "StDev". This all works ok. I'd like to add a calculated item to my pivot table that allows me to take the standard deviation of "Value" and divide that by the average of "Value" to calculate the coefficient of variance. When I try to add a calculated item to calculate the coefficient of variance (i.e. STDEV(value) / AVG(value) , I get the following error from Excel: "Multiple data fields of the same field are not supported when a pivottable report has calculated items" However, even if I eliminate this problem, I get another message from Excel when trying to add a calculated item as follows: "Averages, standard deviations, and variances are not supported when a pivottable report has calculated items" Can anyone suggest how I would go about adding this calculation (i.e. STDEV(value) / AVG(value) to my pivot table? Thanks in advance, Jim

You could do the calculation in a column adjacent to the pivot table, but you won't be able to create a calculated field to do it in the pivot table.

dsd1Deb,
Thanks for your reply.
Hmm...I'm trying to create a reusable "template" for data analysis of this
data from a database. So, adding an adjacent column seems dangerous for two
reasons:
- The calculations would use GETPIVOTDATA function which does not fill
down correctly
- What happens if the user rearranges the pivot table. Does this destroy
the adjacent column and it's data?
It certainly helps to know that I'm barking up the wrong tree with trying
the calculated item. I'm scratching my head for a better approach...
Cheers,
Jim

You can turn off GETPIVOTDATA and fill down normally

ken.wrightIt seems to me that you could create a separate column (called CV) in the Excel Table that calculates the CV in a specific Cell using the formula you noted. Then when you create the Pivot table use that column in the data area for the Pivot table.

Pivot Tables
Hi, I was windering if some one could provide me with a link to a tutorial for what I am trying to do. I have an aggregate table. This table has several groups and several columns. The intersection of a group and column is an aggreate value such as Sum function of a column value in that group. Normally a Pivot table shows 1 aggregate value at the intersection of a group and a column. What I want is: To show more than one value at the intersection besides the aggregate value. In other words, if a simple pivot table cell is: Aggr(x,y) where aggr is an aggregate function such a...

Pivot Chart Formatting #5
How can I format a Pivot Chart and keep the customized format when refreshed? This is a known issue by Microsoft. Short answer, you can't do it. =( One possible work around is to record a macro of you setting the formatting of the chart, and then set it up so that the macro runs whenever the chart calculates. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Germeny Santos" wrote: > How can I format a Pivot Chart and keep the customized format when refreshed?

Pivot table question: Sorting the subgroup in a pivot table (when using the top 10 option for the subgroup)
Hello: I have created a pivot table which has a one subgroup in the second column from the left. It uses the Top 10 option, so there are 10 subgroups So my data looks something like this: Group 1 50 Subgroup 1a 10 Subgroup 1b 40 Eight more subgroups Group 2 30 Subgroup 2a 20 Subgroup 2b 10 Eight more subgroups What I would like to do is sort by THe totals for Group 1, but then also sort by the subgroups, based on the values for each subgroup (similar to the "Sort by, ...

chart template problems
When I save a chart template out in ppt 2007, it only seems to hold the colors and style of the default series. For instance, in a line chart, the first 3 series are the colors I have set along with the right line style and marker type. But if I add more series, they default to random colors (it doesn't even seem to be pulling from the color palette). When I was customizing the chart, I made sure all the fills and lines were a specific color and not set to automatic. When I insert a chart using the saved chart template, however, it only holds some of the styles. Any ideas?? ...
join multiple pivot tables?
How can I link up multiple pivottables all based on the same data where all i would have to do is change the page option (drop down menu) from the first pivot and the rest of the pivots would automatically adjust to match those? There's a sample file here in which you can change the page field in one pivot table, and all the related pivot tables change: http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html Under Pivot Tables, look for 'PT0021 - Change All Page Fields' or 'PT0008 - Change Multiple Page Fields' clueless_in_mempjhis wrote: > How can I link up mu...

some MS Money problems that have kept me from upgrading
I currently have MS Money 2000. I've purchased Money 2004, but switched back to 2000 because I didn't feel that much was improved. As I'm investigating Money 2007, there are still features missing that I believe it should have. 1) the ability to set up bimonthly payments for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, etc. Paying bi-monthly can drastically reduce the interest paid over the life of a loan. 2) an easy-to-use balance transfer/consolidation simulator. it would be great to simulate projected savings and effective interest rates when considering balance transfer senario...
Changing the calculation order
Can the order that Excel recalculates be changed to start fro the lower right? Excel automatically adjusts its final calculation order depending on the dependency chain in such a way as to get the correct result regardless of formula sequence. Why would you want to change this?

Automatically assigning items to new vendors
Working with a client who has a fixed set of services that they purchase from doctors. Each doctor is set up as a vendor in GP (v10, sp3) and all service items need to be associated with each doctor for use on POs. Additionally when new doctors are added thay also need to have all service items assigned. Has anyone tried doing this? I was thinking about a trigger based on new vendor inserts. Any guidance would be appreciated. Correct, You will need a trigger for the new vendors and you will need to run an INSERT statement for the existing ones that are not yet associated. Best r...

Custom Calculation Problem
I have a 4 column table (Column A,B,C and D)as my source data. D contains numbers. I do a pivot table report. I layout A,B and C (in this order with subtotals off) as row fields and D as datafield as sum. I reenter D into the data area and do a custom calculation by specifying Show data as: "Difference From", with Base field = B and Base item = (previous). The result i wanted would have a sum of all B items with common A's as well as the difference between consecutive items. The custom calculation behaves inconsistently: for some items, it shows the difference for some it doesn...
Can I permanently delete/hide data within Pivot Tables?

Is it possible to run the Pivot table with the 155 clients as a Template basically, then somehow delete or permanently hide the data leaving only one client, so that I can save multiple copies for each of the individual clients? Or can I set up a pivot table where I can automatically feed in parameters? Client details are stored on an Oracle database!

Using formulas for pivot table
I know you have the count field but is there away to input a formula? For example customer ordered 25 cases and each case weighs 4 lbs and the end result would need to be total pounds ordered. Thanks! If you do the calculation in the pivot table you may not get the result that you expect. If possible, add a field to the source data, and calculate the order total there. Then, add the OrderTotal field to the pivot table's data area. tskb wrote: > I know you have the count field but is there away to input a formula? > For example customer ordered 25 cases and each case weighs 4 lbs...
