    Using '% of' provides #N/A. How do I calculate?

    Hi,

    I am using a pivot table to summarize some data for a report. I'd like to take the raw numbers and present them as a % of the whole. The pivot table has a total "interactions" that are broken down by "likes" and "comments" in separate columns. What I'd like to see are comments and likes presented as a % of the total interactions.

    This is the data
    Name Interactions Comments Likes
    alpha 50 5 10
    beta 100 5 10

    This is how I'd like the Pivot Table to summarize the data
    Name Interactions Comments % of Interactions Likes % of Interactions
    alpha 50 10% 20%
    beta 100 5% 10%

    Rather than show Likes and Comments in the pivot, just show Interactions and add two calculated fields (Pivottable Tools>Options>Fields, Items & Sets>Calculated Field) called Comments % of Interactions and Likes % of Interactions with formulas of

    = Comments / Interactions

    and

    = Likes / Interactions

    and format them as percentage.
