    PivotTable percentages

    Help please!

    I have data for a company from which I create a PT. The data is
    similar to below

    DEPT NAME GENDER SALARY BONUS

    Admin fred M 15,555 250
    Admin sue F 15,555 750
    Accs Fiona F 20,999 150
    Security Ellie F 18,943 950
    Accs Joe M 21,000 1200

    Basically I have created a PT that shows me the percentage earnings
    and bonus for each gender against the grand total. (I used the 'pivot
    table field' Options > Show Data As % of Total option')

    I would also like to show the percentage that each gender's salary &
    bonus is of the departmental total.

    For example, from the data above I would see that the Admin percentage
    would be 50% for M & F; the bonus would be 25% for M & 75% for F.

    I hope that's clear enough. Let me know if you want more info.

    I've tried the % of Row & % of Column options, but there's obviously
    something I'm missing!

    TIA

    Steve

    With Dept in the Row area and Gender in the Column area, add Salary and
    Bonus to the data area.
    Set each data field to show the % of Row
    The Grand Total row will show overall percentages.
