Use a function in a custom field in pivot table

I'm trying to add a custom field to a pivot table using sumif function.

My data has records for both hours and OT.  I would like a pivot table to show the total hours for all types i.e. (Reg, OT, Sick time, etc) .  The custom field I need to add would sum all OT hours and divide by the total hours. I'm looking for the best way to do this

    Hi Jack,

     

    If your table is added to data model you may right click on table name like here

    and add measure

    =CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Hours]),Table1[Type]="OT")/CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Hours]),ALL(Table1[Type]))

    or divide on SUM to show % of OT to all other types.

    Please see attached.
