Roger,
This is great. For other calculations, we probably need to add a calculated field.

But for percentages, I'll definitely use the built-in feature. As a matter of fact, I have a problem using calculated field feature to calculate percentages because the grand total isn't a field for me to insert. I won't worry about it.
It took me a few attempts to get the Options button. At first, I clicked on the data field towards the right (outside the box) and the Options button never showed up. I had to click on the data field *in the data area* in order to have the Options button.
By the way, thanks for telling us about the DataPig web site. I like it a lot.

Hi Amanda
Right click on a cell in your PT. Select PT Wizard>Layout.
Double click on the relevant data field and select Options. As you
scroll down you will see there are options to express the value as % of
different things.
If you want both the absolute and the percentage, drag the filed to the
data area twice, setting 1 to Sum or Count as required, and the other to
the percentage option.
