    Help with pivot chart calculated field

    Hi,
    I'm having a challenge here.
    I have the following data in an excel sheet. The data comes from an
    access database tand hence changes daily.

    Name TeamName Volume Shipped Hrs worked Shipped per Hr
    Jack Frank 3 1 3
    Rose Frank 6 3 2
    Barbary Frank 7 2. 2.8
    Sam Harry 5 2 2.5
    Peter Harry 8 4 2


    The shipped per hour field is Volume Shipped/Hrs worked.
    I would like to calculate the average Shipped per Hr for each team. For
    eaxample for TeamName-Frank, the average Shipped per Hr would be
    (3+6+7)/(1+3+2.5).

    And Frank can have 4 people working under him tomorrow instead of
    three. So it's dynamic.
    I have all the fields in a pivot table and a pivot chart with sum of
    Volume Shipped in the data area
    I was trying to creat a calculated field that would calculate the
    average shipped per hour for each team, in vain.
    I was trying something like SUM[Volume Shipped]/SUM[Hrs worked] in the
    calculated field formula in th pivot chart. I guess it's kinda stupid
    and is not working.

    Can anyone help me solve my problem?

    Thanks a lot for your help...
    Pragv

    I do not understand your data.
    You say the calculation for Frank's team should be (3+6+7)/(1+3+2.5) but Franks team does not have any hours value of 2.5, did you mean 2?
    Every row except row 3 has a value for shipped per hour equal to volume shipped divided by hours worked... Is there some reason for that different value?

    Assuming the above are just typos, a simple pivot table with either a calculated field of volume shipped / hrs worked or an extra column in the data with the same calculation seemed to work ok in a pivot table.

    regards
