    Variance within a Pivot Table

    Hello - I am trying to figure out how in Excel to add in a column with a variance in the pivot table.
    So in the image attached (I can't attach the raw data as PII and confidential customer information).

    You will see I have a year column, then the rev by month as rows.
    Trying to show...
    - Year $$ by month (which it does)
    - But the variance by % as well as an additional column!
    So to say hey jan 2023 to jan 2024 had less (or more) sales in this category and the % difference is this? How do I add a 2nd column in this pivot to do that?
    2nd image is my pivot details too.

    I tried just to add a manual column but it's not copying down.

    HELP
    Thanks!

    Re: Variance within a Pivot Table

    There's help in your previous thread that you haven't yet acknowledged,

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    No, there's no workbook attached - just screenshots.
