[Solved] Pivot Tables : Custom Formulae

  • [EDIT] Thanks, Derk, it's not quite what I was looking for, but it works.


    I'm building a pivot table, and hitting a wall.


    I have one column of data labled "Status." I need to be able to have rows of my pivot table that summarize only certain codes.


    For example, the possible values of "Status" are L, B, and C.


    I want a row in my pivot table that is just a sum of all the Ls, another row for Bs, and a third row for Cs.


    I thought maybe I could do this with a custom formula, but I have no idea how. I guessed a few things, but nothing is actually returning a sum.


    Table Sample:
    Month______Status______Closed
    Jan__________L__________Feb
    Jan__________B__________Open
    Jan__________L__________Jan
    Feb__________C_________Feb
    Feb__________L_________Feb


    My pivot table should look like this:
    Month______Jan______Feb
    Total________3_______2
    L___________2_______1
    B___________1_______0
    C___________0_______1



    If that's too confusing, I'll upload a sample when I get home (the firewall at work blocks it).

  • From your small sample it looks as though all you need is to put the Status tile in the row field and the month tile in the column field, and Count of anything in the data field. Does that do it?
