Great & Informative, I have been working on tables since LOTUS 123, learned many tricks in handling and presenting the data, however would like to share something or may not come across on the feature, further may help to improvise Hope you understand this if not let me know where to send samples. Each entry would have a different DEBIT amount subtracted from the BALANCE and they need to be ordered in the pivot table as entered in the check register (raw data). on 10/01/18 I might enter a transaction for RENT, AUTO payment, Walmart, Target, Aldi.

If we want to calculate the Profit Margin on each order we could add another column with the calculation Profit Margin = 1 – (Total Cost / Total) or we can add calculated field.įor a rate type calculations like a profit margin, it’s better to add the calculations as a Calculated Field rather than add an extra column with the calculation to the source data. For example, our data contains a Total Cost and Total amount for each order. Add A Calculated FieldĪdding a calculated field to your pivot table is equivalent to adding a new column to your source data to perform a calculation based on the other data. This will allow you to make changes to your pivot table without the column width automatically adjusting.
In the PivotTable Options window under the Layout & Format tab uncheck the Autofit column widths on update box.
