Pivot Table Calculated Field

G

Gestas

Hi, I have an issue creating a pivot table data field, would appreciat
any advice you can give.

I have a table consisting, for the sake of example, of three columns:

ID(1,2,3,4)
Dept (Sales,Sales,Sales,Marketing)
ErrorDate (12/12/12,[BLANKCELL],13/12/12,12/12/12).

I have created a pivot table with Dept as a row, and count of ErrorDat
and count of ID as data items. I'm now trying to create a third dat
item consisting of (count of ErrorDate / count of ID) * 100. Effectivel
I'm trying to find by dept the percentage of errors out of all IDs.

Have tried a couple of methods: adding ID again as a data item an
showing item as % of Row Total. Also tried adding a calculated fiel
with the formulas ErrorDate/ID which seems to use the sums of ID an
Date and Count(ErrorDate)/Count(ID) which just returns a 1 for each row
Am expecting to see for Sales 66.66% and Marketing 100%.

Happy to upload an example spreadsheet if it's any use.

Thanks in advance
