    Pivot table wont find the difference correctly

    Good afternoon all,

    I have a pivot table pulling information from raw data. The raw data has many columns with a column that shows the fiscal year (2014, 2015) from the first column (which are just dates).

    In my pivot table, for the column labels I have the quarter and the fiscal year with values in the table. I can get a subtotal for 2014 and 2015, but is there a way I can find the difference in value for (2015- 2014)?

    Because the fiscal year is one column in the raw data, it doesn't seem to allow me to calculate that field.

    Thank you!

    You have to use helper column in your Pivot Source Data OR use Calculated Field
