    Pivot Table Calculated Field: Different categories in the same field

    Is it possible to run a calculated field of amounts within the same field, but they have different category names?

    I.e.
    Field 1 = Rate
    Field 2 = Basis

    Data
    Basis = "CAN", "US"
    Rate = "10", "20"

    How can I have a calculated field that would be capable of distinguishing:
    1. Rate (CAN) - Rate(US)
    = 10 - 20 = -10 (-10 is the calculated field)


    Thank you

    Re: Pivot Table Calculated Field: Different categories in the same field

    It's possible to add a calculated field that deducts one field from another. In the attached sample Difference column is the sum of Gross Amount minus Open Amount. The screen image shows the calculated field setup.

    If you attach a sample of your workbook it will be easier to find a solution. Remember to remove/replace sensitive data before uploading the file. Look here if you need help with attachments:
