Custom subtotal in a pivot table

Brass Contributor

I have a pivot table with subtotal showing sales across various sizes running along a row ,I wanted to add a line below this showing a custom subtotal ofeach value a + 25%. So another words if the sub total for one size was 100, below it I'd like to see 125 etc etc for each value in the row. Thanks Eqa

@Eqa33 It all depends on how your pivot table looks like. Can imagine that you have rows with products and sales figures per size in columns. You can insert a so-called Calculated Field. This creates extra columns. Alternatively, you insert a Calculated Item for every single product. The Calculated Item option, probably come closest to what you asked for, but neither option is particularly elegant, in my opinion.

 

Have attached a workbook with examples of how it could look like. If this is totally different from your actual situation, you need to be a bit more specific.

Attached a revised version of the "Calulated Item" option in my example. Close, but probably not workable as you would have to change both Sub-total lines when you add or delete products.

 

Unless someone comes up with an idea how to solve this within the area of the pivot table, I suggest you  pick-up the total and perform the 25% calculation outside the pivot table (also in the example).
