    Question calculate field

    Hi everybody
    My data is like here:
    price number
    100 2
    200 3
    300 5
    500 1


    now I want to use this in a pivot and I want to have total price for each row. (I mean I want to product price and number one by one)
    if I use =number*price it calculate repeated data in wrong way.

    thank you

    You'll have to do the calculation in the source data, or use PowerPivot. A regular pivot table will not do that calculation in a calculated field - it will always calculate =SUM(number)*SUM(price).
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.
