    Changing default for field settings in pivot tables

    Every time I create a pivot table, the fields are automatically set to Sum. Is there a way to change the default so I can get them to automatically be set to Average as I build the table. I have a ton of fields to add and do not want to have to change the field settings on every one.

    Unfortunately not, but you can use a macro to apply that afterwards:

    Thanks RomperStomper,

    I was afraid that was going to be the answer. By the way, do you have similar code that sets the defaults to not display sub-totals?

    Thanks Again,
    Jim
